My family hunts birds a lot over large beaver ponds that are secluded in the woods. It seems to work well. We don't get a ton of birds but it is fun to get out there. It is a lot more work hunting them in the Mts. than other well known areas. Roy's advice is right on. Call the folks over in Ray Brook and they should provide you with some good starting points.
Are you talking about geese or ducks?
