It’s a start

Been a bit slow here on Long Island but after the cold temps seems it pushed some birds down from up north. Quick 1.5 hour shoot in some nasty fog

I don't duck/goose hunt, so curious to know how you tell the difference between Canada geese from "up north" versus the ones that live on LI year round?

Doesnt matter whether its the locals or the ones migrating. The same rules/limit apply

The local birds wised up in September. The migrating birds come in to decoys.

@Versatile_Hunterpretty much summed it up in one sentence. Local birds, around here anyways, tend to be at schools and golf courses etc. I won’t even guide for a September trip because IF they come in you get one shot at them and then they’re gone. Since I guide everyday I definitely see a lot more birds hitting our fields after a front passes through
