RE: snow goose hunting
The best way around this part of the country (N.W. Missouri) is to watch the local fields where the geese are feeding. Sometimes, quite often really, they will use the same field for two or three days in a row before moving on to another field. Unless you have a good blind to hunt out of (and about 200 decoys) it will be pretty tough hunting otherwise. I have never had snow geese come into canadian decoys or had them respond very well to canadian calls. Just by driving thru the local wildlife refuge here, you can see that the snows and blues tend to stay seperated from the canada's. Why, I don't know. It has just always been that way.
