Anyone chasing snow geese?
I have been following the progress of the migration this spring, and will finally get a crack at the birds next weekend in North Dakota. I was just wondering if anybody else has been chasing them, and how they've been doing.

Ranger, we heard there are some up here in Manitoba, but on the western border of Man/Sask. We have to wait until the middle of April before the spring season opens for them. We did real well last year.
Ron .....this pic was taken last April. It is after 3 of us harvested these snows in a few hours.

Carp, they taste mighty fine to us. They are hard to pluck so we just breast them out and we also keep the thigh/legs. We usually wait until there is quite a few then after the season is over we have a big dinner using just the thigh/legs. We put them in slow cookers with different recipes.Real good eating!

Just got back yesterday. What a blast! Our group shot about 30 in two days, and missed a bunch more. There are still a few geese around in nothern ND, but I doubt they'll be there very much longer.
