Great Snow Goose Chase

Well, here we are. February 15th and the birds are slowly starting to trickle already. We set up shop today and a hammer and re-bar drilled the holes for the rags and the bigfoots are set up with goose gloves over the top. The Pintail's were all over the place this afternoon. Amazing site this time of year, plenty of huge bull's in full color. Thursday will be opening morning for the Great Snow Goose Chase. We have the horn speakers all amp'd up hoping they'll pull 'em in from the stratosphere. Just South there was about 5 inches of snow, but nothing in Tekamah. Not a single trace anywhere. The ground is beginning to thaw and the mud is THICK. Couldn't hardly get there with the small trailer hooked up to the Polaris. Have about 200 deeks out right now with a mix of floaters, full-bodies and rags. As soon as some more ice goes away, we'll put out some more floaters and see if that'll draw them in. It's time to get going after the 8 week break and we're ready. Ready for what only time will tell. If the amount of ducks around right now is any indication of the migration path toward the North, we should have some great sights this Spring. And...if we're lucky we may just scratch a snow goose or two along the way. Check back for the latest and greatest and thanks for all the hits! MBO
