We've moved back up to NE Arkansas only to ge thit with another 4 to 5 inches of snow! The snow is melting off fast and the birds are moving up. Hopefully that's the end of the snow down here.
We've had a couple of tough hunts where we've only killed 3 geese per day, but we also had our best day so far of 49. Overall, given the tough conditions, we've had pretty decent hunting.
The extra time, effort, and expense of moving South for a week was worth it.
We are just going to keep plugging along and trying hard and keep killing geese.

The Spring Snow Goose season has officially begun! For the second straight year, Mother Nature has thrown a curve ball at us in the form of a major snow storm. We were hit with 8 - 10 inches of rain, snow, and ice in NE Arkansas and all the Snow Geese vacated the area. We decided to pack up and hit the road and found good numbers of birds South of I40.
The first two days we had little to no wind, but we still ended up killing 15 and 20. On Wednesday we had a little more wind and we were able to bring down 45 Snows and Blues.
There's a noticeable decline in juvenile birds this year and I expect the harvest to be down about 30% from last year. I believe that will probably hold true. However, 20 - 25 birds a day is still a great day of hunting!
As I previously stated, the Arkansas season is fully booked, but we do have a few openings for up to 3 hunters in the South Dakota Spring Snow Goose season. Some are even on weekends. Call or e-mail me to book your hunt.
