Dec 1, 1874 we concluded to try to kill some wild geese to day
we found the place whare the geese stayed nights & throgh
the day when they were not feeding it was whare the water
was 6 inches deep I got into the flags & made a bed to
kneel on & waited the arival of the geese we shot sev[er]al
on the wing which we set out as stools soon a flock of
about 20 came down & lit we both shot at them at the
same time & killed about one half of the flock we got 10.
we killed 22 geese & some 8 ducks
