The 2 Benellis and Black Cloud 3.5" BB's were once again on their game.
Another good morning on the mud flats for us.
About 60 or so there when we went in before light.
We bumped them off the spot and set up where they wanted to be.
The entire 60 didn't come back, but out of the 25 or so that did come back, 13 decided to stay with us.
This area is exposed flats off of a feeder creek on the reservoir.
Dry weather and draw down for generation have exposed acres of mud. Indigenous grasses, along with our millet, quickly take hold.
The millet is up and has gained another 6 inches since the first of the month when we shot over it.
Before the first shoot, the geese were keeping it buzzed down pretty low.
With more tender new grasses popping up, they seem to be moving off the millet and going for the fresh and tender stuff.
It's quite a sight and even more of an interesting sound when 12 lbs. of honker come slamming down into ankle deep slop from 25 yards high.
The one or two that weren't dead before they hit the mud, couldn't pull themselves out the crater they'd just made for themselves on impact, making recovery a messy but efficient affair.
We quit at 10 AM because of the building heat.
Man, I'll be glad to see a frost!
