Me, my brother, nephew (NJhunter24), and friend went out this morning. It was way too sunny, calm, and warm, but I managed a drake mallard and buffie. We missed a few others that should have added to the bag. All in all, a pretty good morning with family and friends.

Theres an understatement I took a walk around the harbor with the kids, man there wasn't a riple on the water, so I'm glad ya scored a few birds[up]
I was on the end of a pier, and a old squaw flew 10' in front of us......... if I only had a gun [cool]

Its an F-16 with feathers A small duck that flys fast, If you were to look out at the bay, thats usually the first duck you would see very white head and sides on the drakes.

I was pheasant hunting in Alpha and there were geese everywhere. Some came over low enough that they could have been added to the day's take.
But not having the proper ammo, stamps and numbers, they got a free pass.

Where did you hunt on the raritan?
I live in Bridgewater, is there somewhere close that I can go around here? I am dying to go out, just don't know where.

Is that public land in Alpha?....The geese are absent further up river. I deer hunted yesterday about 2 miles south of the Milford bridge. There were no airborne geese. I am trying to find where they are staying along the river.

No, private lease on a farm. There were hundreds of geese flying all over. There are a number of farms in the area that were soybean and corn fields. They seem to be hanging out in those all day long. They occasionally get up for a fly around and then back to the fields.
I would think if you went around and knocked on some doors you might hit a couple that would let you goose hunt. For the most part the deer seasons are over, if there is no upland going on you won't be bothering anyone. It's worth a try.
