Snow Day

It has been amazing to see how over the past several years, chasing snow geese has gone from something that some may turn their noses up at to one of the top hunting opportunities across the Midwest. I mean, if you’re someone who likes to work large flocks of ducks or geese, as well as have your “waterfowl wits” put to the test, and you haven’t tried snow geese over decoys…..well, you’re missing out!
A light goose, which includes snows and blues as well as Ross geese, can be very worthy adversaries. So if you are unfamiliar with these beasts of the waterfowl world, here are some basics. These birds can travel in unbelievably large groups and are largely over-populated. This is one of the perceived reasons why these birds can be difficult to hunt. They have an insatiable appetite and can eat out a quarter section corn field overnight. While these birds are creatures of habitat, much like any other waterfowl when it’s time to migrate they don’t mess around. These birds make a lot of racket. After a day in the field, between the callers and the birds themselves, you will be hearing snow geese in your sleep for a week!
