So, how did the trip go???
I've been wanting to go on a snow goose hunt but haven't made it happen yet.
I guess I forgot to update. We had 11 shooters, and killed 11 birds in the first 30 minutes. No more birds showed up all weekend. The weather just didn't cooperate, and that's just part of the game. I went with a bunch of guys from Vortex who I talk to weekly, but its quick question/quick answer type talking, so even though we dint get into the birds, we had a great time catching up on non work stuff, and playing with 2019 products.
On Saturday, the guide made the comment there were 300k-400k birds on the lake about 1 mile away. We took a drive over, and I dont know what 300k-400k birds look like, but It was close enough not to call him a liar. The lake was probably 1.5 miles across, and you could have walked to the other side without getting wet. When its cold they just dont fly, and it was cold the weekend we were there.
