From what I can read and have found, there are huntable numbers in Missouri already and they are starting to move into Nebraska. I guess SoDak has about 5 inches of snow and 20+ inches of ice on the lakes and ponds. The group we hunt with will probably head out the 3rd week of March. I am excited, but with the variations in the weather we are having lately, the migration might happen in one big jump and they will push through SoDak to the Canadien border. Just like last year, it is going to be tough to predict when the best hunting will be! Any thoughts or precitions?

We currently use the Jonny Stewart Tape players now, I purchased the Preymaster from Jonny Stewart. It is light, only takes double A batteries and can have multiple sounds from a exchangable plug in card/chip. I was just curious to what different options are out there for snow goose hunting.
You definitely need to try and get out there! If you love waterfowl hunting, you will love this. To see the migration is something every hunter should experience once! But do it once and you will go back every year. I am lucky to have some committed partners for hunting snows. We have quite a bit of decoys and calls that we all pitch in and buy and we will be doing it for a long time to come hopefully. It also feeds the hunting addiction in the spring! Now its Snows and Turkeys in the Spring, Food Plots in the summer, Regular hunting in the fall and Coyote hunting in the winter! My wife is so happy!

Thanks for the tip. I never even considered that it might be illegal to have it locked. I guess I was just caught up in show I watched about a guy turkey hunting with his bow. I was more looking for a base anyway. When gun hunting, I like to sit in the open, but I do have to Ameristep doghouses that I use for scouting, and or observing, so I am excited to actually hunt out of one this year.
