Safety
Here is a picture of one of the hunters barrel from yesterday. He had dropped the end of his gun in mud and thought he cleaned it out. I guess not good enough. We take safety as a very important part of our spring snow goose hunts. Please be safe. This could have been much […]
Arkansas’s first week

Arkansas Lodging Finalized
I made a trip to Arkansas last week to make sure we had a place to stay and look at some of the fields we hunt. One of the farmers we lease ground from has a farm house he is renting to us. There is only room for the snow goose guides to stay in […]
