What a Sight

Thursday was a bit tough.  Had two gun "clicks" for the day.  One on 3 that broke off nice and came down, the other on 2.  Managed to get two shot off on the 2nd group after the "click" and missed.  Oh well was a great day with great sights to see all the duck in the video above.  Hunting Sunday, hoping the rain/clouds forecast will keep 'em low.  Check back for the latest and greatest.

Alleluia

If you've been reading, you may remember a post talking about piles of geese today.  The pile was just a bit small today.  It consisted of just one, but we didn't get skunked, the first day was a success.  A 30 man limit of Pintail could have easily been had while we were watching thousands of snow geese fly overhead.  The Specks are still flyin full-force, along with the Can's.  Cannot believe the birds we see in the Spring, it's truly an amazing site.  Sure is a test of one's will having all those birds that you CANNOT  shoot just a few yards from the barrel of a feather duster.  As the pic shows we dusted one Ross and that's it.  The weather men were a bit off on the wind today.  We had a nice migratory South wind until about 1PM and then, hold your hats, that North Wind that came up and pretty much ruined our spread.  The next two days, if you believe 'em or not, are supposed to be Big South Monday and nice South Tuesday.  Based on what we saw today, if you're in on taking time off or moving your schedule for snow geese, the next couple days should be good.  That's all I got for now, check back for the latest and greatest.

Holy Numbers

Recent Report:  Reported that as of March 1, 2012 they are reporting up to 3 million geese in the Kearney area, and up to 1 million near and around the Grand Island, area.  They also reported 1.5 million light geese on the north side of Squaw Creek NWR in Missouri.

Prelude to "The Chase"

The prelude to "the chase" has begun.  Went up late morning just to take a peak at what was going on.  Plenty of Specks, Cans and Ducks.  Some snow geese too, finally.  It's "go time"!  We will have bodies piled up Sunday by noon and we will let you all know just how we did it after all these years or trying.  This year is it, I can feel it!  Check back for the latest and greatest.
