Evolution by hunting is what I've heard it called and is the logical outcome of killing the dumb ones leaving only the smart ones. It's far more pronounced in geese compared to birds like pheasants because of how long they live. There are likely birds still out there that were around for the first early goose season. Can you imagine how hard a whitetail buck would be to hunt if they lived to be 20! Good God they have a PHD in avoiding hunters by 5 and would probably pass Einstein by 10. Every year the flock has more and more older very educated birds. If we as hunters were smart we would sacrifice some days each early season and blow up the hitchhiking flocks that walk up into fields to try and teach them that that is a bad thing for them to do or soon enough it's going to be the only thing they do. At this point with the early birds I won't fault guys getting them anyway they can including detonating the roost. I know I would love to smoke a roost at first light with a good old jump shoot just to get some revenge on the little bastards and there random field changing ways but odds are to high of getting ducks mixed in.Guy should just find a sandbar on the river that's has good walleye fishing and set up some rods with bells then put some decoys out and soak up the sun and if you happen to get some birds with the fish it's a bonus. Hell I bet if we stopped trying to hide from the river birds and just stand on the shore fishing the priqs would probably decoy better.</blockquote>
