Hey Ya'll
Had a great time in [location deleted] this past weekend [March 11]chasing the snow geese. I am a newcomer to this waterfowl sport. We we overwhelmed with the numbers of goose we saw. Every day we literally saw hundreds of thousands of birds on the move. One huge group was landing across the road as shown in the pics.
From what I have read it can be very difficult to hunt these birds, because they don’t decoy down into the spread like canada’s do. As well as the field conditions can be very demanding in setting up your spread. Overcoming all these obstacles and actually getting these birds to try to land in your spread is very exciting.
This was our first serious attempt to hunt them, and we did very well in my opinion in taking 49 birds. We had 5 different large groups of birds actually decoy down to within 5 yards and took 6 birds on one pass, two passes of 5, and several 3 packs hitting the ground.
For our family this club is a great value in offering multiple outdoor activities in all seasons of the year. See you soon in the turkey woods. Rex
