SNOW GEESE
« on: November 28, 2007, 05:31:38 PM »
Just got my snow goose cert in the mail.  :IBCOOL:  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.

It sounds like it's time to get a new gun.

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.
The first bird may get the worm, but it's the second rat that gets the cheese.

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.

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.

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.

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