After the duck hunt I began tying knots in the rags and drinking beer much to the delight of the other guys in the camp. I heard "You ain't going to kill shite." and "You're wasting your time..." all afternoon and into the night. All the while geese kept steadily flying over the camp.
Clyde....You ever hunt a big rag spread? I heard the same thing from some guys at the bar when I told them the first time I had gathered 4 other willing idiots to get out in the field and set out 800 rags. I still get goose bumps (no pun intended) thinking about those days. You've seen the big flocks "tornado" down when they decide on a field to land in. It is a whole different sight to see it looking directly up into it.

Oh yeah, we used to go all the time when I was a kid.
Optimally, you want to be about 1/2 mile down wind of a huge roost where you can shoot small groups that filter off all morning.
Mid morning the whole bunch will get up, circle and sit back down in the same spot 2 or 3 times "warming up" as the guides used to say. Sounds like thunder...
If your lucky you get the whole experience of the tornado if they come your way. I've hunted rag spreads probably 20 or 30 times in my younger life and got the tornado 2 or 3 times.
When the guide is yelling at the top of his lungs not to shoot yet and they keep coming and start sitting down all over you, it's a hell of an experience.
