Anyone Gearing Up for Snows?

[Bill Gilbertson]

Not Al. Just a guy from Florida often mistaken for Uncle Si.
16 birds this AM.
Had a flock of 500 work us for 15 minutes within 80 yards. We did get 6 of them.
Birds aren't finishing as well today. Yesterday was mostly 15 yard shots.

Bill, it sounds like you are having fun! Keep up the good work and keep the posts coming. Some of us are jealous!

Maybe more adults mixed in coming back from the north? Sounds like birds are going south out of canada

Ended the day with 25 total.
4 were the tasty Rosses.
A few adults but mostly juvies.
Birds were hard to finish.
Lots of specks.
No shortage of birds.

the guide spent 80 hours scouting in. The last week.

That's what he tells all the clients.

Well, perhaps the G/O did do it. I remember that often Steve spent a lot of time scouting. Some G/O do, some don't. it seems Bill is happy with the the G/O he is using.


Anyways, DL is supposed to get 1-3" of snow today with a N wind. Very likely that'll stall the push north. Will it force them to head back south? Who knows....

I remember about 8 years ago we had cold weather (20 for lows) with stiff North wind and had a snow storm in SD. We had geese migrating both directions. The geese in CAN were heading back South into ND and the geese in SD were head North into ND. It was a weird day, but that is Snow goose hunting.

Good luck to all that are heading out.

Squaw has 3000 yet, I think theres a few more to come up. Just not the masses

Good luck with finding them when they head North.

Who said it was over?

Someone who didn't want you going to South Dakota.

Why would a guide doing his job (scouting) make me hate guides any less?

Guides can suck it.

I have found birds super late the last two years. Tough yes but not impossible.
