Month: February 2026

A banger of a day to wrap up the second‑to‑last hunt. After a week of slow to average shooting, things finally picked back up. High field finished with 60 snows, low field had 14, and the daily average landed at 40.2 birds per field. Tomorrow is the last day of the season. Now for the … [Read More]

Another foggy morning with very little wind. There was definitely a migration push today, and with similar weather in the forecast, I’d expect another one tomorrow. Our best field shot 40 snows, and our lowest shot 6. The 40‑bird field saw a lot of traffic; the 6‑bird field hardly saw any. Tomorrow will be the … [Read More]

Today most of the fields landed in the teens or twenties, with the exception of our high and low fields. The high field finished with 30, and the low field scratched out 2. All the fields saw plenty of birds except the 2‑bird field, which had very limited visibility thanks to a pretty foggy start … [Read More]

Today was better than yesterday, but the birds still weren’t interested in doing much. A steady south wind and they just sat and fed all day. Sooner or later they’re going to have to move, and we’re hoping that’s tomorrow because the last three days have been slow. Our best field shot 24, and the … [Read More]

  Today was our first truly slow day of the year. Our high field scratched out 26, but the rest ranged from 5 down to zero. I always say a season has peaks and valleys, and up to now we’ve been living in the peaks. The last three days proved that—some groups did really well, … [Read More]

The weather shift slowed things down today. Not terrible—just more in line with an average year. Our best field shot 32 snows, and the slowest finished with 8. That was the only group in the single digits, and we still ended up with a 19.7‑bird average. Solidly average day. Back home, Denise said they picked … [Read More]

The last four days have been as good as anything I’ve seen in 26 years of chasing spring snows. Today was our half‑day hunt, and the numbers were just stupid good again — our high field shot 104, and our low field finished with 23, giving us a 56‑bird average. This streak will end someday, … [Read More]

  Another very good day in the books. I was told all fall that the hatch was strong, and so far that sure seems to be the case. The hunting has been solid ever since the snow melted on February 6.   Today our best field shot 102 snows, and our lowest finished with 19. … [Read More]

Super Special Day. Days like this don’t come around often, and the groups who hunted today got a real treat. Our high field finished with an even 200 snows. The lowest field shot 24, which is still a strong day and nothing to shrug off. Across the board we averaged 79.6 birds per field. It’s … [Read More]

Overall, today was really good for most of the groups. The morning started with very low wind, but one field had fog and a feed next to them, and it worked out — they were the high field with 102 snows. On the other end of the spectrum, our low field only shot 2. Most … [Read More]

For a half‑day hunt, it turned out to be a pretty good one. Our best group shot 45, and our lowest field finished with 8, giving us a 20‑bird average. That’s a solid day considering most groups only hunted until noon. We had heavy rain last night and into the morning, but it finally quit … [Read More]

  Feb 14 – Solid Average Day The weather was odd today, and the forecast missed the mark. It was supposed to rain all day, but it didn’t start until late afternoon. The wind was forecasted to be a steady SE at 10–15 mph, but it never got close. Instead, it stayed light and variable out of … [Read More]

There was very low wind today, and it showed. Our best field shot 37 snow geese, and our lowest shot 6, with an average of 17.4. It was a nice, average day — a pretty typical snow goose hunt. In my field, if we’d had wind, we would’ve done much better. The birds were working … [Read More]

Big day today… and a late one. Our high field stacked up 98 snows, and the low field ended with 12, giving us a 49.5‑bird average overall. Some fields shot straight juvies, others were closer to a half‑juvy, half‑adult mix. Hard to miss the migration today — a ton of birds pushed north, way more … [Read More]
