Taken from GFP's HSOforum...the updates are just starting...

Monday, March 15

There are large numbers of snow geese throughout both Turner and Hutchinson counties. Snow geese were landing on Silver Lake north of Freeman on Sunday afternoon. There were geese landing in a winter wheat field near Kaylor on Monday morning.

Many small flocks of snow geese seen while driving 10 miles west of Huron. Current foggy conditions have geese flying extremely low.

Flock of several thousand snow geese seen near Redfield just off Highway 281.

Flock of around 200 snow geese seen south of Mellette in Spink County.

There is a good number of snow geese in southern Union County in the southeast corner of the state. The main eastern migration right now runs from Vermillion through Davis, and in the Hurley and Parker area. There are good numbers of birds through this whole stretch.

Several large flocks of snow geese are moving through south of the Gayville area, between Yankton and Vermillion in southern Yankton County. There continues to be large numbers of geese moving through the area.

Sunday, March 14:

70-80 snow geese spotted about five miles west of Sand Lake Refuge

Saturday, March 13

Low flying flocks are coming in by the thousands near the Vermillion area. They are flying NW. a few hunters following the migration.

Sunday, March 7

A couple of flocks of snow geese reported between Tyndall and Tripp. One was flying north with between 25-30 geese, and the other had about the same number feeding in a field.

Friday, March 12

No reports of snow geese around Yankton but lots of other geese and ducks are filing in. There is still quite a bit of snow on the ground. There is already standing water in the fields with more to come. Hunters will need to be aware of conditions and work closely with landowners on access issues into these wet fields.

Yeah, I know. Maybe we can get some reports from random people here. I'm gonna try to get out this weekend...maybe tomorrow...and shoot a few geese. The skies are starting to fill with geese the past couple days...

And with all the flooding, we should have a lot of standing water again this year. Bad for the farmers, good for ducks and duck hunters...

      Problems with Yetti

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
