anybody think minnesota will change any framework for the early season next fall, with the recent usfws mandates on resident geese? i would be infavor of an unrestricted magazine, if for the simple fact of not having to reload as often, but i feel this could cause a lot more skybusting in return. anybody think that the bag limits will change, or that the season will be longer?

I think that there will not be a change to the three shell rule. If i remember - it took awhile for light geese to be changed.

Seasons maybe changed depending on the Fed's. They might open the season for more days. I do see, in the future, a spring or summer hunt to widdle the numbers down some more.

I think of that change because more of the problem birds are in the city - get them migrating.

the problem with spring canada hunts is that you have young birds that will end up in canada coming through late and by the time some of the spring migrators come through resident birds are already sitting on eggs. the problem with controled local hunts is that you are targeting a specific population. the snow hunt they just want dead birds because they are destroying tundra, mn is trying to control local numbers and leave the migrators alone. i think the frame work will be the same it might start a week earler in august instead of september. just my thoughts Jonah

I think they could have a spring hunt in late may-early june, at that time you'd be targeting the molt migrators before they head north. These are local non breeding birds and all the breeding pairs are with young or have migrated through.This is also the worst time for crop dammage. I would trade all the other options their talking about for this one! Just my opinion though.

I would like to see some changes but I honestly dont think it will. As far as resident birds go I think they should let the early season run up until regular season and maybe even keep higher limits for a couple weeks after that because it is rare to get any migrators the first couple weeks of regular season, especiall in southern minnesota. I would also like to see alot more late season because more and more birds are staying for the winter. If they are worried about being hard on migrators then give us three birds or whatever, but just let us go huntin. We have a lot of birds around this time of year especially with it being warm and it would just be nice to have some more huntin opprotunities without being shutdown so much. States like SD, CO, and MT to name a few hunt geese through january and into february and pretty much all of the geese in those locations this time of year are migrators, not residents. I am not sure that unplugged guns would get rid of that many more birds because you normally wouldnt get any more good shots than that but if we really need to kill geese why not. Raised limits would help a bunch because a lot of limit hunts happen already with 5 during the early season with all the dumb young birds, let the hunters do the huntin.

Double the limit! Too many hunts in early season we limit out and the geese keep coming into the decoys as we're picking up.

The next time to the same field we get nothing. So let us harvest as many geese during the ealy season as possible because they change fields from day to day in the early season. Get'em when you can! Get-R-dun! grin.gif

early goose season usually starts the first saturday in september i believe. on a side note; its never too early to start talking to farmers about where their small grain fields will be this season. its always nice to have good information when beginning to scout late this summer, and if you know where the fields are ahead of time; it can save a lot on gas money.

      I was driving by so I stopped to grab a few cell phone shots. That water should be flowing for awhile. It sure is flowing through our neighborhood.

      Glamping with RV: The Ultimate Guide to Luxury RV Camping

      By AnnieNicky · Posted

      Luxury RV camping has become increasingly popular in recent years as people look for ways to enjoy the great outdoors while still enjoying the comforts of home. With the right equipment and preparation, luxury RV camping can be a truly unforgettable experience. In this essay, we will provide you with the ultimate guide to luxury RV camping, including tips on choosing the right RV, selecting the best campsite, and packing for your trip.   The first step to planning a luxury RV camping trip is to choose the right RV. There are a variety of different types of RVs available, ranging from small and compact trailers to large and luxurious motorhomes. The right RV for you will depend on your budget, your travel plans, and your personal preferences.   One popular option for luxury RV camping is a Class A motorhome. These motorhomes are typically the largest and most luxurious RVs available, with spacious interiors, full kitchens, and even multiple bathrooms. They often come equipped with high-end features such as leather upholstery, flat-screen televisions, and high-quality audio systems. Class A motorhomes are also the most expensive type of RV, but they offer the ultimate in comfort and luxury.   Another popular option for luxury RV camping is a fifth wheel trailer. These trailers are typically larger than travel trailers and are designed to be towed by a pickup truck. They offer many of the same amenities as Class A motorhomes, including full kitchens, multiple bathrooms, and high-end features such as surround sound systems and flat-screen televisions. Fifth wheel trailers are often less expensive than Class A motorhomes but still offer a high level of comfort and luxury.   Once you have chosen the right RV for your luxury camping trip, the next step is to select the perfect campsite. There are a variety of different types of campsites available, ranging from basic, no-frills campsites to high-end RV resorts with all the amenities. When selecting a campsite, it is important to consider your budget, your travel plans, and your personal preferences.   If you are looking for a truly luxurious camping experience, consider staying at an RV resort. These resorts often offer a wide range of amenities, including swimming pools, hot tubs, fitness centers, and even golf courses. They also typically offer high-end services such as concierge service, valet parking, and room service. RV resorts can be expensive, but they offer the ultimate in luxury and comfort.   If you are looking for a more affordable camping experience, consider staying at a state or national park. These parks offer a variety of different campsites, ranging from basic tent sites to RV sites with electrical and water hookups. While state and national parks may not offer the same level of luxury as RV resorts, they do offer the opportunity to experience the natural beauty of the outdoors.     Once you have chosen the perfect RV and campsite, the final step is to pack for your luxury camping trip. When packing for a luxury RV camping trip, it is important to focus on comfort and convenience. Pack clothing that is appropriate for the weather and activities you have planned, as well as comfortable shoes for hiking and exploring.   In addition to clothing, it is important to pack all the essentials you will need for your trip. This includes bedding, towels, toiletries, and any medications or other personal items you may need. It is also important to pack food and drinks, as well as any cooking supplies you will need for meals. If you are camping in the cold weather, bring the Ocoopa Union 5s rechargeable hand warmers are easy to use for camping. First, charge it, then turn it on, and finally, place it in your gloves or pockets. Additionally, the rechargeable hand warmer has 4 heat settings, allowing you to adjust the temperature to various weather conditions. With a large 10000mAh battery, it can provide up to 15 hours of heat and could use as a power bank, making it an ideal hand warmer for extended outdoor activities.   Finally, when packing for your luxury RV camping trip, don’t forget to pack entertainment options such as books, movies, and games. While luxury camping offers many opportunities for relaxation and outdoor activities, it is also important to have options for downtime and relaxation.
