The start of the Rochester second season started with a real bang! Started to time the geese around tues. and found that they had a later flight pattern so we went on deer drives in the mourning and set up about 11:00. Feel sorry for the guys who set up at sunrise because the geese started to fly about 11:30, scouting pays off yet again. 4 guys 8 birds in oh, hour and a half. birds seemed real comfortable until we pulled up on them. Sat. was more of the same deer drove in the mourn. but it was warmer out so we set up at 10:00 there were more geese flying out and for longer periods of time so once again 4 guys 8 birds, but took us 2 hours this time. Sunday took me and two buddies to Faribault for one last hurrah at the 5 bird limit. Ducks were litterally all over the place easily 5,000 in the air, it was continuous throughout our hunt. Then the geese came and they came and they came! Flocks of 15-50 throughout our hunt as well. very interested in our spread many in-your-face shots. If my buddies could hit anything it would have been over in 5-6 flocks, but it took us a while (2 1/2 hours) but we managed 15 birds 
, including my first honker band. The ducks were everywhere and I think we should pull for either a later season or a split.
