Geese

Anybody seeing much for honkers after this cold snap? All my areas are quite and locked with ice.

I hunt around prior lake and there are still alot of geese around here. our group has been shooting alot of birds the past week, but they are getting hard to decoy in. We have been setting six to eight dozen big foots out and that has seemed to bring them in better.

Saw approximately 2000-3000 birds today around Annandale area.

Sawe around 4-5 hundred on a river system today. If you find open water you more than likely will find the geese, they have been migrateing like crazy the last few days. I also witnessed bunches of plump mallards. To bad duck seson closed a week to early!

the fields my buddy secured are holding birds and there are plenty of others flying about...

banged out two today but should have done more damage to that group of 6...

Hoping for success tomorrow afternoon...will have about 200 dekes out with 5 or 6 guys calling/flagging/shooting.

Good luck.

Got permission to hunt basically the only open water around...we got 10..cant wait for the late season when the limit is 5 a person, hopefully they stick around that long

We got 8 over the weekend near a open river system. Let me tell you we saw hundreds of birds and we should of had more for our group. There were birds migrateing steady. It was a fun weekend with good friendship and a few bonus birds. The weather was a little cold we had alot of frozen guns,hands and crushed egos (with close shots being missed) but as always this is what makes late season hunting interesting and challenging!

Saw tons of birds today on the Miss...the problem for me is, the spot I hunt, from where you hide on shore and the water line is is now quite a distance, makes for some long shots. Gonna have to find a different spot or find some rock camo.

i live by rochester and to say we have a few geese would be an understatement. like 20,000 would be about right. get out and get them while they are here and there is still season left because January is right around the corner.

I was coming back from Owatonna today and in the Fairbault area there were hundreds of geese coming out of town. There are some fields that still have corn stubble so I am thinking that I may need to go knock on some doors in that area. Have a good one and N Joy the Hunt././Jimbo
