Month: February 2016

Today had similar results to the other days we have had the last week. High field was 15. The rest in single digits. We did see birds coming from the north ahead of the storm. Some fields saw more than others. One field had birds circling all day but would bail on them at 100 … [Read More]

Today’s results are similar to the last weeks. High field was 22 followed closely by a 21. The other 5 fields saw and shot very few snow geese. I thought hard about this all afternoon and my gut is telling me to move to Nebraska. So the following is what I would like to do… … [Read More]

Today was another mixed result day. Almost all of the fields saw high migrating snow geese from the north heading south. Most didn’t want to work at all. High field shot 47 snow geese. All of the other fields were in the single digits. We moved another field around to hopefully take advantage of this … [Read More]

Today was slightly better snow goose hunting. High field was 27 with a banded blue goose. The other fields had slower hunting but a few of them did see what seemed to them to be small high flocks from the north.

I drove another 400 something miles today looking for snow geese. After this drive I have a better feeling about the next 11 days if the weather play out as predicted. There is a pretty good number of birds to the south of us. Here is the wind forecast for the next 10 days. It could … [Read More]

Today I drove 691 miles scouting without much to show for it. Tomorrow I will head another direction. Hunting today was slow again. My gut feeling is we are just between birds. There are a fair number of days with a south winds in the forecast over the next 10 day. At this point it … [Read More]

Today was slow hunting. The wind blew out of the north like crazy. Not much traded around. High field was 8 snow geese. I drove around today and there are still just scattered flocks of 2,000-5,000 snow geese. We have yet to see a huge mass of feeding birds since we have been here. This … [Read More]

  The new spread we set paid off.  The group that hunted that field shot 68 snow geese. We were not at full strength with our fields but had a nice day with 109 snow geese harvested between all the fields for a 21.8 bird average. There was a pretty good push of specks yesterday … [Read More]

Yesterday was the youth duck hunting in Arkansas so we couldn’t run snow goose hunters. We did some scouting and set a spread in an area we have done well on in that past. There is a fair number of birds in that area but it is a haul of a drive. Don’t really like … [Read More]

The first 5 days are in the books. Hunting was on the low side normal and compared to last spring was much slower. This first week of the Arkansas snow goose season last year we shot 1140 snow geese with a 48 bird average between all of my fields. That is exceptional. This year we … [Read More]

Today was the first really slow day of hunting. Although we saw a fair number of birds they were high migrating flock from the north heading south. Normally when birds head back they are good decoying birds. Not today. Afternoons have been very slow all week. Tomorrows a new day with a south wind. The … [Read More]

We definitely have a lot fewer birds in the area this year over past seasons. Today we didn’t see many snow geese in a couple of the fields. A big change from yesterday when everybody saw a lot migrating north.  A couple fields had slow hunting. All the other fields were in the teen’s or … [Read More]

Today the snow geese migrated pretty good out of the south. We were lucky and never got the severe weather that was predicted. High field for today was 52 snow geese. Average was 25 birds per field with two of our fields of hunters deciding to not hunt until mid-morning due to the weather forecast. … [Read More]

Today all in all was a pretty good first day. Not a ton of birds in the area but enough. High field shot 30 snow geese and we averaged 20. I think the weather pushed a few birds back south. Mid afternoon in my field we saw a number of flocks coming from the north … [Read More]
