Don't forget that you can also kill waterfowl by hiding under hollowed-out gourds disguised to look like rocks, then pulling the birds under when they land. Beautifully illustrated in this 1578 engraving by Cornelis Galle (full image is at the Rijksmuseum). #geese #history #hunting #gourds #squash #art https://www.rijksmuseum.nl/nl/collectie/object/---3b7a5a974aae5cd92a1ed69a08cea2a4

@colinpurrington@flipping.rocks The duck in the back is seeing hell at that very moment when dipping its head under water

@colinpurrington@flipping.rocks I mean, if I were a duck or goose, this would probably work on me... definitely would not expect that thing with eye holes to be a crazy human underneath
