WOW! Dave. What a SLAUGHTER !!! The honkers we get, we have made into pepperoni. Only way I've found to make them taste good. What else do you do with them?

I cubed one up, flash seared it in olive oil, then added it as he meat in a combination of 2 Irish stew recipes I had. Turned out amazing! There is another member on this site who tried the same recipe and had his "picky" kids devour it!! My sis-n-law, who is not a wild game eater, tried it, then asked for a tupper ware full for lunch the next day...may have to post it in the recipe section...

Nothing! Havent hunted.....There are a few spots with birds , but one thats holding the most (100 or so honkers and 50 or so specks) we dont have permission on. Could try and run traffic i guess as we have permission right next to it, but we would be in a plowed potatoe field thats soaking wet and the birds are going into a winter wheat feild. Alot of work for a maybe. lol We do have about 70-100 birds that just showed up in one of our fields (winter wheat as well) but they are landing right behind one of the barns and the farmer would perfer to wait till they move further. Anyway im sure it will come together before the end of the season at least once.
I'm using the same kind of spread pattern here too.
I like to put out a black coat to look like a dog (to the geese anyway) in an area the birds want to land but I don't want them to. It will keep them from landing there, and they often will come to where I'm set up. I've fooled many poor honkers with this.
