"Migration News" - Snow Goose Season 2011 - Mound City, Missouri

The season continues to roll on with over 1.5 million snow geese either on Squaw Creek NWR or in the area there are pleanty of geese. However the snow geese here are the oldest and smartest and if you make one mistake decoying them they are gone. We had an experienced group from Nebraska yesterday and they didnt make any mistakes. Oh I forgot to mention someone was sleeping when we took the shot on one bunch.

38 Mature - Snows and Blues In The Fog - A Little Jewelry

Even though the only birds that are really in the area are mature snows and blues hunting in the fog is a real equalizer for the hunter. The only trick to hunting in the fog is to be ready all the time because when they appear at 100yds there is no time to talk about the shot all you can do is shoot.

Snow Goose Reports 2011 -1.5 Juvenile Per 1 Adult Bird Population

The hatch rate is as big as it’s been in many years in many nesting area‘s. “This is a huge production year!”, says Dr. Robert “Rocky” Rockwell, a biology professor at NY City University. And he should know. Rocky is one of North America’s leading authorities on snow geese, their nesting habits, and effects on the tundra.

Understanding of course, the weather is often the key factor in killing snow geese and that can not be predicted, bad hatch years can be great and good hatch years can be bad, depending all on how mother nature treats you, as we all know. But I will say, with the early spring, what we hoped for, our predictions seemingly have come true with large numbers of birds currently being harvested as I write this, and an unbelievable 1.5 juvenile per 1 adult bird population!!!!!! With the right weather, this spring could be a record breaker!!!!
