DeadRed707,
At one time we lived with my cousin down in Stanislaus Co. The house was right between Kesterson and San Lois Refuges. We had a pond in the backyard within shotgun range of the back bedrooms. During duck season, the first one up would wake the rest of the household up by shooting ducks from the bedroom window! Our wives finally put a stop to it but it was fun while it lasted.
