Posted By: Michael-Wynne Field Editor Flats 11-27-2008 16:45 Sunny & Clear, Winds Calm – 35-40 Degrees Geese by the thousands. Large flocks of divers. Various puddler flocks of between 10 and 40 birds each. Heavy activity. Most hunters I have ever seen at the ramp, 8 boats in the launch line up. Still, little shooting, the birds just were not decoying for anyone. Instead they opted to raft up about a mile out off battery light, away from averyone. This raft drew every bird within miles. Flock after flock of everyhting that flew landed in this raft and it grew and grew. It was amazing.
