The migration tracker at waterfowler dot com is the only one I know of.

The one that was pretty up to date last season was huntthenorth dot com.

It's made up of some guides in SD and ND, but they have sections on all the states through the flyway.

The main thing is to track the snow line. If you go onto the NOAA site, they have snow depth maps there. The geese will be right along the southern edge of the snow line.

That's the best way I know of to figure out where they are.

I would also say the water fowler .com is a good one.

As times for MO, we hunted there last year on the 20-21st of Feb. We shot 87 birds in those two days. This year we are headed back down on the 23 and 24th of Feb.

Wnat any more info let me know.

We go guided and he is one of the cheaper guys.

I hunted on Easter weekend in South Dakota a few years ago, a big snowstorm developed to the north of us and we hunted that snow line. Simply the most spectacular amount of birds I have ever seen and hunted. If you have a quick warm up the migration is fast, gotta move FAST!!

Ya, if you can get a big snowstorm to halt the migration, birds really start to pile up.

The migration map at waterfowler.com is pretty poor IMO but you can get some great field reports there. Also, huntingsnows.com is probably the best sight for what you're looking for.

Or you can email me cause I'll be watching
