AWESOME!!! I'm going to try to get into waterfowl hunting this year for the first time...especially late snow goose season

 

[JohnCushman]

What do you do with all the birds? Do you simply breast them out?

 

[Devil Diver Down]

So what you're saying is you pretty much struck out so far this year?

I may do waterfowl for the first time this year as well. Don't know sheet about them but it looks like fun anyway.

I live in the wrong flyway!!! About the only Canadas we get any more are the resident golf course grazers, and all the mallards stop in the Chesapeake Bay area only coming further south when the flat water freezes late in the season; I'm green with envy.

We get a lot of hunters that come up from your neck of the woods. We have a limit of 8 dark geese 20 snows and 8 ducks a day and a possesion limit of 3 times the daily limit. That makes up for a lot of shooting. Most states don't allow for very high limits in the U.S and it is hard to find places to hunt as well by the sounds of things and that is why guys come up. Some guys say with 3 days here they shoot a whole seasons worth back home kind of thing. It is a blast to watch them get so excited about it. It's like they died and went to heaven!!

All birds are breasted and found a home. A lot of it is made into jerky and sausage and given back to the farmers and I have a lot of good friends whose families love the stuff. Easy to get rid of it all.
Glad you like the pics

Brings back fond memories when I hunted that country in the late 80's. No outfitters, no hunters, plenty of birds and we always had the Hutterites to clean and prepare the birds if we wanted.
Great array of pics, you must have pulled out prior to the bulk of the "whites" arrival........?

Yup, things have changed. Hutterittes don't do the birds anymore since the avian bird scare thing hit. Our area is mainly big honkers, ducks and of course a mob of specs but we don't really target them unless guys want to give it a try. Most guys come for the big 12-18 pound honkers we have. It's their breeding ground as well as the ducks. Good old Pothole country.
Do you have any pictures of your past hunts? I'd love to see them if you still have them.

Nube,

You're responsible for a lot of waterfowl carnage! I am telling PETA.
