Got out for day two of the split here in NY and managed a 4 man limit consisting of old squaw, golden eye, bufflehead head and one merg. Was non stop from sun up till we got it together and started hitting them instead of shooting at them. Used the kayak to retrieve and set the long lines. Poor thing has 2” of ice built up on it. 

How are they being prepared

I made them into jerky with some geese sliced thin. I’ve cooked them a number of ways never had a complaint not even from my picky kids.
