Snow goose season is right around the corner

AJB · 01-09-2009, 08:28 PM

So what does everyone still need to get before season??? I was hoping to pick up 100 or 120 Dakota Full body snows and blues but that might have to wait till next spring. Need to get a few more windsocks to replace the rags we want to get rid of. Also have to get my other ecaller fixed but altrocker1 said he could fix the short in the wire with no problem.

I really want to give it a shot so I'm thinkin I might bite the bullet and pay for a day of guided snow hunting. It looks like a blast

More shotgun shells!!! Picking up some windsocks here and there. Some more fullbodies but that will have to wait till over the summer.

That is a good call Rob I have 14 boxes of goose loads but when my old man goes with me the first weekend and the wife the 2nd weekend I better pick up another case.

Mack's is a good place to order by the case. I might do that considering I have to pay for my boy to.

How far ahead time do you need me to get ahold of you Rob?

I assume you are wanting to stay in Iowa? If so by the end of Feb. Last year birds were a little earlier than normal. Usually it's 2nd to 3 rd week of March when it gets hot and heavy around here. Send me a pm with your number and what you have in mind.

I read on huntingsnows.com that you can get it at Menards. One guy recommends 1443R. Have to check that out. If so we might be busy Adam!!!

Shells, lot's of shells. :lol:

HokdOnQuack · 01-10-2009, 09:05 AM

I need to shift my dark goose decoys from my trailer to make room for the white decoys. Still need to paint a few old canada shells as well.

Always need to buy more decoys!

Cody Oberfoell · 01-10-2009, 11:15 AM

I think i am gonna get about 200-300 texas rags and try it this year!!! It looks like a blast but frustrating.

orange legs · 01-10-2009, 11:24 AM

If you do rags make sure you get them tied up good and tight or you will be chasing them. Windsocks are a better bet.
