Title: Spring snow goose hunt
Post by: shootem on February 08, 2016, 11:33:59 PM: Anybody ever do a spring snow goose hunt? Sounds like it has potential for a lot of shooting. Or is it it to inconsistent to plan.

Ones that only set up in one spot are held by the weather and migration. Your either in them or spending the day shooting the bull. The stationary guides can have some pretty impressive sets though. Some ranging in 10k plus decoys. When the birds are passing through they are stacking them. They usually have a list of clients waiting for the phone call. Makes it difficult and expensive for those that have to fly to hit the correct timing at times.
