Just got my snow goose cert in the mail.

never hunted it before, so would anyone like to show a kid the ropes of snow goose hunting. or if anyone has a hunting buddy back out last minute or just needs another gun in the blind to share some new hunting stories. just shoot me a PM. im open during the weekdays usually as well. Ive got a strong back and i dont need much sleep.

any tips you guys could leave right here would be cool too.

Ya, I agree, I wish he lived over here. Nice to have a second person with when hunting duck on big water in case you have a f*&%-up.

Addicted, go thru Stanwood towards Camano Island. Turn left at the end of the guard rail on the bridge. Go to the parking lot at the end of the road. Walk out a little on the dike. You don't need to go to the end. The Geese will lift off from Lorvicks "safe fields" and fly over the dike. usually too high unless it's bad weather. Go into the grass with a small boat you can hide well in North of the bridge. Theres some fields and access points west of conway. Try the dikes behind "snowgoose farms" or whatever it's called just before the bridge going to La Conner {Sometimes it's really good pass shooting for ducks}. The worse the weather and wind and snow the better the goose hunting.

Hermit,

Your info is right on the money. We didn't bag any snows today but ducks were getting busted. We didn't have a blind but set up some deeks on a puddle out there and they were coming in from all directions.

Thanks for the tips. Damn that was fun.

Aint that the truth...

You don't need to do the Quality Hunt to shoot a snow. You can hang out at Lorvicks with some deeks/rags and see if they will come in. There were tons of them all over the place yesterday.

even more reason to avoid pass-shooting.
addicted...i'd take him up on that offer!!

i hate people walking the dike. pm sent

Ray · « **Reply #12 on:** December 14, 2007, 10:01:41 AM »

I'd shoot them from the dike if time they flew low enough. I don't see anything ethically incorrect about it or anything unsporting about it either.

Ray · « **Reply #13 on:** December 14, 2007, 10:14:38 AM »

I don't hunt off other people's decoys. But someone else was trying to leech off ours yesterday

- didn't work out for them though. That's mutually exclusive to shooting from the dikes. There was nobody but us over where we were yesterday (except for the leech who walked out from another area) and it would have completely appropriate if they were low enough.

it is definately not cool to shoot a dike at passing birds in my opinion unless they are REALLY low and there is no one else hunting with decoys within about a mile. I can not stand guys that shoot at birds from the dike as they are working towards my spread. in some cases guys will fire shots at you if you do that. I personally do not blame them because they went to all the trouble to get the field and pack in the dekes and set them and do it right just to have someone shoot at birds that are working their spread. but once again it is just my opinion. I would say if you are going to shoot the dike just make sure no one is hunting anywhere near you and dont take any shots over 30 yds high or it is considered sky busting in my book.
