We had a fantastic week of snow goose hunting. We had multiple days over 60 and one day over 100 geese per spread. Many geese have moved on as we have been hearing geese honking throughout the night. But excellent numbers remain and we are planning on stopping quite a few with some well placed BB's. The only open day we have in Arkansas right now is Tuesday March 3rd for up to six guys. A few days are open during the week in South Dakota.

We had another great week of Snow Goose hunting. Our low day was 23 and our high day was 84. One thing that's been unusual this year is that we've had a fairly hard time killing the singles and doubles. Most of the action has been from really big flocks of 100 to 2,000 birds. It makes for some exciting decoy hunting though. Some of the birds have moved out but new ones are arriving daily. We also had to cancel one hunt due to heavy rains and severe thunderstorm warnings. It's just one of those things you can't control and no one ends up being happy. All we could do is refund their money. We still have a few weekday openings in both Arkansas and South Dakota. From the sounds of the weather, we should have another productive week.

We ended the first week on a really high note. Not only did we kill our first banded bird of the year, we also had our first day of over 100 geese, 110 to be exact. There are still tons of geese in the area. There was a migration on this Monday morning where we lost some birds, but some new birds came in also. The weather has been favorable and I have really high hopes for tomorrow's hunt. Plus, it looks like the power will be restored shortly. The out of state crews are really working hard.

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.
