Spring Snow Geese

[mconway951]

Anybody gonna go after them this spring I have a buddy that runs a guide service so he talked me into tagging along in 3 weeks sounds like a great time I have done canadas a few times and liked it not a huge waterfowl hunter but sounds to me like Snows is a hole different deal with the amount of birds a guy can see and shoot in a day.
Anybody have any pics to tide me over till i get there.

Might go out one or two times, but I'm starting to get burnout. Honker closes this weekend and plan on hitting it Sat & Sun.

Getting close to fishing time!

Never done it, but it looks flat out incredible.

My Argentina waterfowl hunt was as close as I've ever come to experiencing such a thing.

Were you able to import the fowl you killed?
I have been told it is dang near impossible to get birds back to states.
I canceled one trip when a buddy's birds were impounded by Argentine officials.
Why would I go if I can't bring back birds to mount that I have never seen before???
Killing 50 a day is not the point to me----different species is what I want.

Poiningdogsrule. ever seen the herds of snows in SASK in Sep/Oct?

TOM,

I just saw your post. I was able to bring one giant cooler back of "cleaned" birds. They still tasted like duck. I left money with the outfitter who said he would have his taxidermist do 4 birds for me at 125 bucks each pluss the shipping. Unfortunately that outfitter is nowhere to be found and I've never seen my birds After my experience I spoke with a local taxi that has done birds from Argentina before...I think like Africa there is a process for getting them shipped to your taxi.

I can honestly say even though not getting the birds back, I had an incredible trip. I ate, drank and slept well. Proobably the best food I've ever ate. I think I returned to the states 5 to 10 lbs heavier.

Went and chased snows last weekend set all 1500 decs thurs night rained and windy friday. Sat was 45 mph winds and cold not real productive shot 5 or 6. Sunday morning was lil different had much calmer winds and warmer temps had tons of birds moving through the area had a few groups work in and shot some real nice birds.
