Live oak trees were around the shores, up the mountainside is seen the state ly, towering pine and fir. Ensconced in our blind, tho first shot was fired, which put all wild life in motion, creating general con sternation. They jumped from the surface of the water and commenc ' ed "milling.'' Wo were occupying a point blind, which gave us numerous shots as the birds circled about. We soon had sufficient number of ducks to make a respectable decoy display. We staked them out by running a sharpened stick into the mud, impal ing the lower portion of tho duck's bill on the stick, which gave them a life-like appearance as they rest ed on the water. Tho decoy layout was especially seductive, assisted by the dulcet notes of a duck call, birds dropped in. affording most excel lent shooting. We were soon con vinced that our bag limit would be reached before the evening flight started. Then came the "shot about" order, scorng mallard ducks of the male persuasion only.
