Spring Snow Goose Hunting
Over my spring break I spent 4 days hunting snow geese near my hometown in southeast Nebraska. Good friend Any Grotrian was kind enough to take me hunting on his local farm. Although we didn't kill as many snow geese as we had planned, good times were had all around.
On our first day out we were shooting snows within the first five minutes. The following day the weather turned cold and it was hard to get the geese to commit to our decoy set up. The final day and a half resulted in few birds flying. We got a report that 1.8 million snows were holding up 60 miles away at Squaw Creek wildlife refuge. When I left on Tuesday, the report was that there were still 1.3 million snows at Squaw. I'm sure any day now those geese are going to get up and make their way north. Good luck to my friend Andy...I'm sure you'll be swamped with snows any day now!
