Got a field they are coming into every morning. Going to set up on them and whack um! Are you suppose to let them all land before you shoot?

It is better if a big wad is coming down to let one quarter of them land first then come up and shoot at birds getting up and trying to get out.That's if your question was serious.

I've been riding all day and have seen nothing but geese. I was on the side of the road binocing some specks that were landing about 1/4 mile from a landing group of snows and this car stops beside me.

I'd seen the guy a couple of weeks ago and he said they'd killed 560 geese in 5 hunts using about 1500 snow dekes! Then he tells me that they are hunting at least 8 people every time they go out to help with the decoys.

Now I know for a fact that specks will make your mouth water...but I just wonder if they're eating all of those snows or fattening up the coyotes?

Hey guys,

I've got to ask this cause you guys are doing two things to me--1) are snows THAT bad to eat? and 2) shoo some of them on down this way.

Regardless, I'm going to eat it, but I'm just curious. Can't be any worse than some of the things I've eaten in my life.

Merry Christmas!

They kind of taste like CHICKEN

You know, it seems that everything tastes like chicken--any of you ever wonder if maybe chicken just tastes like everything else?!

Wes

Never seen no purple chicken meat... If ya'll think snow geese taste like chicken, you eating some nasty barnyard pimp.

There are no over population problems of tastey animals. Think about it. travis

Seperate the snow geese from everything else. When you get ready to make gumbo, boil the snow geese in crab boil. Then use them in the gumbo. Hides the flavor? Guess so, but it does make use of the resource.

i am sure you all will get a good kick out of this but i have eaten blue bill, ring neck, shoveler and snow goose filet the meat wipe cream cheese add jalepenos close sprinkle with tony chaterans and up wrap in bacon and throw on the grill mmmm mmmmm good

You guys just need to learn how to cook that's all. Send them snows down to the coast. I'll shoot 'em and eat 'em.

Quakers you sound like my kind of hunter--if I can kill it it must be good to eat . I will say this though, years ago my dad went out to Wyoming to hunt antelope. I can honestly say that that was the MOST god-awful meat I have ever put in my mouth. It tasted like it had been marinated in gasoline! It comes from all of the sage brush they eat---yukk!!! Travis you may have a point there about the under population of tastey animals, because antelope are every where out there. I'm still gonna eat the sucker and if I get anymore I'm gonna cook him also along with blue bills, rings and shovelers--notice no mergs ! I guess I even have to draw the line somewhere!

Sorry I forgot your C. Make that Quackers, not the Pilgrim folks

Goosebruce, you say there is no overpopulation of tasty animals, but what about deer? They taste great, and are very overpopulated. hehe That just kinda throws a kink in your reply doesn't it.

It is ashame you can't even give the snow geese to feed the poor. I guess their not that hungry yet!


With the number of snow's and the damage they have done to the duck food. I don't have any problem this year with shooting and leaving them laying to feed the hawks, owls, coyotes. It might even save a rabbit!
The snow geese will be the death of the duck population if something is not done.

We all talk about snow geese and the problems they cause. Why don't some of us get together and put together a big snow goose hunt one morning. I am sure it would be fun and would be an opportunity for more of us MSDucks members to meet one another. There are several farmers in the Delta that would welcome us to come hunt snows. We would have to make sure everyone kept the farmers wishes in mind and left the place in better shape than we found it.

Let me know what you think about this proposal. If we were able to put together a group hunt it would be a blast.
