I will start with a few from last year the 2007-2008 season.

One of my good buddies in the blind and his dog Delta.


A few straps behind the clubhouse.


Greenhead on Ice.

And one from Conservation goose season; two of my buddies with two days worth of light geese.

Gordon, how would you explain that last one to the Game Warden. Thats like a 100 geese and 2 people

No need to, the Game Warden actually took about 30 of those birds...that shot was taken during conservation season, there is no limit on light geese during conservation season(and you don't to have your gun plugged either).... and that was actually around 550 geese taken between the 3 of us over 2 days.... these geese are destroying the tundra due to overpopulation and the conservation season was adopted as a population reduction tool. Last year 2007 was the first year in the past 30 that the population of light geese actually dropped (still only a small percentage)

Nope here in the good ole U.S.A. after Duck and regular goose season goes out in the there is a "Light Goose Conservation Season" that begins, the season isopen in 24 states in the Mississippi and Central Flyway. You can only kill Light Geese (Snow, both Color phases, and Ross' geese) but there is no limit and you do not have to have plugs on your gun (I have a magazine extension on my Beretta that allows me to load 10 shells at a time). It is fun but it quickly becomes hard work, at least hauling them out of the field and cleaning them. The dogs will get absolutely worn out after two days of this.

For more information Oklahoma has a nice blurb about the conservation season at: http://www.wildlifedepartment.com/COLGS/colgsexplination.htm
and the USFWS has an in depth statement about the Conservation order at: http://www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/issues/snowgse/FinalEIS2007/Light%20goose%20FEIS_Q&As.pdf

Eat them of course. They make really good sausage, great tamales,and are pretty good fried or grilled too. I can tell you though, three folks cleaning that many geese isn't much fun.... We also usually gift some sausage to the farmers, warden and other folks that help out our hunts too.
