	Well, I've just had what I'm pretty sure was my first
experience with Anti's and/or their results. I'm a member of a private
lake, east of Broomfield, that has pretty good goose hunting on it. My
partner had a custom- designed and built blind that was an extravagant
affair that he had invested quite a bit of labor and wood in. It was
somewhat portable, and we had spent 3 days, earlier, refurbishing it
and putting it up at our lake. I went out Monday morning to find it,
and 2 of the other 3 blinds on the lake, burned to the ground! The
other 2 blinds were cattail and hay bale blinds, and probably burned
up/down pretty quickly. However, ours was comprised of 2X4's, 4X4's,
and plywood. As there were hunters and ice-fisherman on the lake all
day Sunday, this all happened sometime Sunday night. For this much
wood to burn so hot and fast, it was probably fueled by a goodly
amount of gasoline.  While we've reported it to the club officers and
the local Sherrif's dept., none of it gives quite the satisfaction
that I know we'd have if we had caught the bastard(s) ourselves.
	One side note... I'm happy to say that they still failed in
their attempt to kill our hunting. Quite the contrary. Two guys from
one of the other burned blinds joined me and we just hid in the
willows and weeds on the shore next to my still-smoldering blind.
Three of us and Hershey, (the Chocolate-Mallard-Muncher), hiding in
the weeds.... and we got our 9-bird limit by 10:30. Without doubt, one
of the best decoying days I've ever seen.

	Definitely a first experience for me!


	Good decoyin'

	Larry and Hershey

So that's the secret of decoying geese!  Burn your blind to the ground.
I never would have suspected that geese like to warm up next to a fire!
 
 
Seriously, I hope ya'll nail those bastards.
