2014 Snow Goose Reports

[greatwhitehunter3!]

Every year is obviously different but we were shooting them Nebraska/SD border around 13th of march last year.

Being Kansas City had 50s last week, you did as well as could be hoped, considering that they are in the 20s right now--it'll be a bust this weekend down there.

2 weeks from now NW MO should be covered in Snows if they get 60s. http://www.accuweather.com/en/us/kansas ... r=3/1/2014

South and West of Sioux Falls to Aberdeen there still is minimal snow. They could easily do a NW MO to Sand Lake jump in 1 day 2.5 weeks from now--whether they stick around or head back as they are known to do is another thing . My point being is once 50s hit--sheet water should be present and the geese pushing north should stick around a few days.

And for SD 50s 2 weeks from now. http://www.accuweather.com/en/us/sioux- ... r=3/1/2014

Accuweather is predicting a good warm up (40s) for the the TC area 2 weeks from now. http://www.accuweather.com/en/us/chanha ... r=3/1/2014

But take their long term forecasts with a grain of salt as 3 weeks ago AW was predicting 40s for this week for here. But the sun is getting higher and higher in the sky and the resulting warmth was evident yesterday when it was 5 and the ice in the streets was melting mid day from the suns rays. And like I mentioned yesterday it could be like flipping a light switch and we have well above freezing temps and a big melt.

Hunt planned for NW MO Mar 3-5. It's hard to get excited with this much snow on the ground here.

We are delaying our hunt. Below zero nights next week.

Good call. Looks like March 10th or so will be much better if the long range forecast holds.

So when do you plan on hunting SD then?

Went out yesterday morning for the MN Light Goose Opener. It was COLD. Not much flying. SW Minnesota between Windom and Worthington. Saw a few mallards flying. Had to use ground heater so I could pound holes for windsock stakes. The decs were looking good, plenty of wind to keep them dancing!

Just nice to get a sunrise in and set decoys..... We are truly lucky for the experience.

Shot 160 adults south of here over the weekend using 700 windsocks and 4 e-callers. We were about a mile north of some dbag guide service that had every gadget and gizmo that a snow goose nerd could ever dream of, pretty sure they got skunked. All the guides were packing up and heading back to Arkansas to hunt the juvies that they need in order to be able to decoy.

I bet by the end of this month the birds will be in and around SoDak. Maybe even a little north of there. Some south, but fewer than whats north.
