I Hate Mild Weather Geese!

Tue Dec 15, 2015 1:47 pm

I've been watching a roost this past week or more and am frustrated with the Geese activity. If some of them do leave the roost, it is usually about 4:15 in the afternoon, which barely leaves anytime for them to reach their feeding area and still have time to shoot. Only about 1/3 to 1/2 of the flock ever leave.

Most of the time, the Geese are just eating, loafing, pooping, and sleeping at the roost. There is plenty of green grass, lots of water, and nothing to disturb them. They look too comfortable and smug for my liking.

I need some cold weather & snow, or a flock of ravenous Eagles to get this bunch of Geese off of their dead butts.

I can't imagine how muddy the fields will be after all this rain/sleet/snow recently.

Good luck Chuck!

The fields should be hard by Friday.

I saw several high flocks of Canada's heading SE this afternoon as the cold front came through.

We're only going to be cold for a day (even then not that cold) and then right back to above freezing highs.... Might touch 40 before Christmas even.... Shouldn't have put my fishing boat away so early...

I saw a few guys fishing prior last night! It's been wide open the whole fall.
