2018 Spring Snow hunting

[lanyard]

I don't know about you, but those conditions at my ripe old age have found me a distinct appreciation for Ryes, Scotches, Cognacs, and about anything else brown on the rocks!

Nice work Bill, glad to see SOMEONE gets some killing done on this site

It's not for everyone. Only 2 of the 6 that went out last year wanted in this year. Might have been the -7 wind chills we had then. Or the thought of spending 10 or more hours a day in a layout blind. But I am sucked in by the spectacle of the massive number of birds you are almost guaranteed to see. This from 2014

When the geese do finally come through it will probably be pretty fast. Bitter cold for the Dakota's all next week.

snow goose hunting in the spring can be 70 or 17.

Yup!. I had it in ND where the geese are migrating N and the same time geese were migrating back S into the US out of Canada because it was 20 degrees out and a stout N wind.

How do I embed the above here and get it to show?

Bill, saw the guide you used, but curious about the Lodge. My brother in-law spends a lot of fall that way and knows a few of the lodge folks, PM me if you prefer not publish on the internet.

Thanks.

So where the birds hiding out? Blizzard warnings for most of SD and NE

Major blizzard!

So who all are still going after the Snows?

I suspect with this major warming trend that by Monday most Snows will be in Canada.

I saw a posting where I think they are already hunting Snow on James bay ON., but that seemed awfully early... Or was it photos of a year ago???
