kitchrat Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 Just to entertain you guys a bit more, I'm in Canada right now, trying to shoot geese on the praries. Same game, bigger scale - bigger birds, bigger flocks (10,000's), bigger fields (1 mile x half mile minimum) and more fields for them to go to - hundreds of square miles. The commercial "outfitters", who guide hunters for cash, use literally hundreds of decoys, rotaries, flappers etc and a loudspeaker system - geese are very vocal. (I only have a dozen shell decoys!) When you do get them to decoy they are so easy to shoot it's no sport, they just hang in the air, trying to stop and pull away, you almost have time to reload if it's a big bunch. Still, a great experience. I'm back for pigeons on rape in 2 weeks, assuming they are not on the acorns you worry me with. No moose to worry about - see attached file- sorry I can't get it in the text.... Kanada Kitchrat Oh I did get it in the text!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penelope Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 I take it that you are shooting Lesser Snows then.

kitchrat Posted October 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 (edited) I take it that you are shooting Lesser Snows then. Snows, speckled or Canadas. It's only legal to use the sound systems on snows. There are too many of them and they are destroying their own habitat up north. There is even an "Environmental" shooting season in the spring now!!

Penelope Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 Yes, their population has gone through the roof. Snows, speckled or Canadas. It's only legal to use the sound systems on snows.
