This is from this past week, the snow geese and ducks are from Friday evening-Sunday morning. We killed the snow geese yesterday (Saturday) morning. We saw a lot flying over, and getting lower as they crossed the levee to the west of us. So my dad and I decided to go back to the cabin, grab something to eat, and then go for a drive looking for where these snow geese were landing. We knew we could get them as long as there was a ditch close enough to them, and because we have permission to kill them in literally tens of thousands of acres in these bottoms. It turns out they were only a couple miles over the levee, and there was probably 15-20 thousand of them in the air and on the ground in a rice field, only about 60 yards from a ditch. So we went back and got my brother who was still duck hunting, grabbed the guns, and hopped in the truck. We drove about a mile past the geese, and grabbed the guns. We crouched a mile through a muddy, water filled ditch (very hard on you and the guns), went to peek over the top of the ditch to see how far, and if we thought we could kill as much as we wanted, and I guess we peeked a little too high because they all got up off the ground about 60 yards from us. So we jumped up from the ditch and started shooting, we ended up with 15 in 9 shots. Not great, not bad. The sneak to them was rough, but the walk back with our guns, and 5 geese each was much harder. We did it, and then went back to the cabin and got a trail camera up and a stand hung for next weekend. As we were driving through the bottoms again this morning, on our way home, there were even more geese, all within reach of a ditch too. We'd had enough though lol. The last pictures are from Wednesday, in a muddy cornfield with steady rain/snow/sleet the whole time we were there.

WOW man that is what i call success

Rory/MO

You guys seem to think this is a lot. We've killed in the 40's with one stalk before. It'll get better when everything is closed except snow geese and we can take the plugs out of our guns. That's when it really becomes work.
Thanks guys
