Two limits of specks?
After working in wastewater treatment and watching ducks bobbing for lunch in the treatment ponds I will never eat wild duck again.
Do you eat pork?:rolleyes:
Still look like Speckled Bellied geese to me. Must be gitt’in old.
FAOL and DEAD ducks???. But, then again, my mind does wander.

Tim,
Here is a Goose Story; Quote;
The
next time
you see Geese
heading South for
the Winter, flying along
in V formation, you might
consider what science has dis-
covered as to why they fly that way:
As each bird flaps its wings, it creates an
uplift for the bird immediately following. By
flying in V formation the whole flock adds at least
71% greater flying range than if each bird flew on its own.
People who share a common direction and sense of community
can get where they are going more quickly and easily
because they are traveling on the thrust of one another.
When
a goose falls
out of formation,
it suddenly feels the drag
and resistance of trying to go it alone
and quickly gets back into formation to take
advantage of the lifting power of the bird in front.
If we have as much sense as a goose,
we will stay in formation
with those who are headed the same way we are.
End Quote. (This Story was originally printed in a pyramid formation, like a Goose V)

Doug,
Why is one leg of the “V” longer than the other one?
Joel,
I read a joke/story about experts sitting around debating why? the Goose ‘V’ is unbalanced. They were talking about raising $200,000 for a Study and finally one of the debaters said “It’s because there are more Geese on one side!”
Doug
P.S. I do not know why it was printed that way.
Doug,
You’re correct…The longer side of the “V” has more birds!
Is it because it would be an uneven number otherwise?
Cheers,

To allow them to quickly check the flock’s politics? Which has more members, the left or the right… ![]()
The lead duck is the arbiter. After all, he is the one in the “poll position”.
Ed (running and ducking)
JC. You are correct. Two limits of white front geese, AKA specks.
Tim
"Thank you, thank you, thank you, very much. I stand vindicated, in my old age. Castwell should know his ‘specks’, been using them long enough! ![]()
But Marco, all the flies that can be tied from the feathers that Tim is showing.
Rick
VERY nice! It’s not dark goose season here any more, or we would’ve shot a few limits of canadas and specks this last weekend. Specks are my favorite goose… beautiful, smart, and dang good to eat!
You guys not only got some great birds but man when the feathers are done being cleaned and quarantined you’ll have lots to tie with.
Fatman
Since this appears to be a pile of tying material, shouldn’t it have been put in the fly tying section?

Nice looking birds! Thanks for sharing. That should keep the nasties away for a bit.
Don - I put it in the FAOL section as I figured it would get more viewers and I was curious to see what responses I would get.
Here you go: Hook: #10, Tail: Breast of WF Goose. Body: Tail of WF Goose, Wing CDC of a WF Goose, Hackle: A tribute to Conranch.

NICE HAT!!!
