I think this is the 3rd year for the special season here in Kansas...Last year we still had a few flocks in South east kansas in late March most of them went through durning late feb and early march though only reason i know that is because i saw a truck load while hunting crows...I hope to get out this year and manage to snag a few Snows/Blues for jerky...I would love to shoot a nice blue phase ross!!! If you ever shoot one of those get it mounted Waterfowl biologist believe there is only a couple dz in the whole population of Ross geese
