spring snow goose hunts

[Scott M]

Hunted by Squaw. Lots of birds. 88 for 7 guns in 3 days. Not a lot of birds decoying relative to what we saw, but didn't shoot many juvies either. Wonderful weather and a very nice farmer that gave us permission. Lots of hunters in the area but based on conversations overheard and the long faces at the motel, I'd say we did pretty good.

Reading reports here and elsewhere, it sounds like things are really spread out north to south. I'm done for the year but the rest of the guys are heading to SoDak potentially the next two weekends.

Got any photos Scott? I'm heading out there this weekend hoping to get in on some good action!

[minky]

Any updates?

I really enjoy hearing how everyone is doing!

Put on 200 miles in nw NoDak. Zero snows. A few honkers & a pair of mallards was it. Saw 4 moose though!

[Finlander]

No water = no geese! Friends of mine are still hunting them in southeast Nebraska! Too cold!

Good luck! The refuge is still reporting lots of birds!

[Bryce]

Sure would like to be out there today. Weekend doesn't sound so good though. Everythings ready to be packed. Just need to put the mag extension on and throw in a few cases of shells.

Added another ecaller this spring. Works fine as is but need to figure how to wire in the remote. Less than $100 into this one.

[minky]

Have a good time, hope you get into the birds!

North wind is gonna howl tomorrow boys. Up to 50+ mph. If they're in the air at all, they'll be hugging the ground. Really rap em' a good one!

Just got back from our 4 day trip to from SD about 2 hours west of Brookings. IT was a very tough trip. lots of adult birds. we only shot about 20 over the weekend lots of high flying migrators. Our group is debating heading back in a week or two to hopefully get in on some juvies!

Should add we had 720 silo socks out and spent a lot of time scouting and knocking on doors...

[Bryce]

Be waiting for these to jump a couple hours north tomorrow.

Where was that taken? Iowa?

[Bryce]

About 2 hours south of here. Ther's a whole state between

here and Iowa. Two options. Full bodies or drills. The ground is rather firm.

[CANOPY SAM]

Well at least it appears dry and snow free. Spread looks good Bryce. Did they show up as planned?

[Bryce]

The language I would need to use to properly describe hunting refuged up adults would offend anyone who ever even contemplated using this forum. #selfmedicating

T

Saturday....Grasshopper

[tracker x-2]

Heres a couple from our trip last weekend. Debating whether to head back next weekend for some juvie action!

[lifterpuller]

Bryce don't you usually head out for a long trip in the spring?

I am assuming you're not out there yet.

Heading out Saturday for a week...can't wait. It's looking like 212 corridor-the border will be our scouting starting area

[lifterpuller]

if forecast holds true there will be a lot of birds killed out there in the next 5-6 days

[Bryce]

Weather brutal here. Going to stick it out to see what Saturday brings. Monday forecast back to horrible. Hope to get back out for a few days of juvie action but hard to tell when that could be looking at my schedule and the forecast. Goofy spring.

[minky]

Great pics, makes me want to hunt them next year!

[Bryce]

Saw some more of these plus a few juvies mixed into the flocks.
