Snow Geese Anyone?

[Four Seasons]

The flying Rats have made their way back. Man they can destroy some new seeding quick.

You hunt them? Nothing to speak of down my way.

Not so much. I let anyone that wants after them in. They come as they do most years there will be 1000’s of them soon. Never ending for a couple weeks.

We have some. Where are you located? I'll pound them

I would enjoy hunting them, but never see them by me.  Used to see lots of them down in the Bethlehem PA area.

Thousands of them up here around Montezuma swamp. Plenty of bird watchers stop and look.

Hundred thousand plus!!! I follow the flocks back and try to get after then.  If it gets warm like they are saying they will be gone next week. Short window of time to get under the spin!!!!

How do they taste?

I'd love to get after the, but don't have any of the gear. It's my understanding that very large decoy spreads are required to pull them in. I may look into an outfitter. Could be a lot of fun with a couple friends.

Like a goose. Iron rich, good if used properly.

It's all about scouting and the right property, you can get them if your on the x with a dozen Canada geese decoys or even no spread. In turn you could putmout 1000 decoys and have them land 1 field away. They unfortunately are only here for a week or 2.

I can attest to the fun, thanks to KMartinson.
