I can't wait until September to do that all over again. Last year's early season was a little slow, but the year before that we had good action just about every time we went out.

It is more fun than this spring snow goose business.

I am trying Jerry, but its tough. I was in Missouri the 14th-16th, and we got a few. The outfitters kind of have the hunt screwed up, but thats the way it goes.

So, instead of beings smart and waving my white flag, we are chasing em into North Dakota possibly this weekend if they are there. Hopefully that will allow better hunting.

If you want to spend 500 per person on an outfitter you will save a lot of work, but I kind of like doing it myself.

That is some nice footage and shooting!

I can't wait until the early September Canada Goose season here in NY! Then of course the regular goose and duck seasons later on!

There's never a "bad day" at the swamp/pond!

We had a great season here! Took my limit of 6 in a couple weeks. I love to goose hunt. Flying rats! I took a couple home and gave away the others. I was really looking forward to cooking some up but my daughter did a freezer clean up and did not know what it was so she threw it out.

Oh well, September 1st is the early season goose hunt! I already have my license so all I need is the stamps and tags and them flying rats are in trouble!
