Arkansas Snow Goose Opener - 02/05/2009

Just when you think you've seen it all, Mother Nature really throws a curve at us. When I drove down across NE Arkansas, everything was covered in ice, power lines and transformers were laying on the roads, telephone poles snapped in two by the thousands, and it was virtually impossible to get gas because no one had power. Luckily the sun came out over the weekend and melted all the ice and the warm Southerly breeze brought the geese with it. We've had some excellent hunts, killing between 30 and 90 geese per day. This upcoming week looks to be very promising as they're forecasting warmer weather which should bring more geese into the area. It sure is great to be hunting again. We still have some weekday openings the latter part of February and mid-March for South Dakota.
