Spring Conservation snow goose season

This time of the year is the Conservation snow geese season. This season for waterfowl is different because you can use electronic calls and there is no limit to how many you can kill, because they are so overpopulated. You can also take the plugs out of your shotguns or get extended magazines to knock down more birds without reloading because a lot of the time hundreds of geese are coming in at once.               

But one of the negative things about snow goose hunting is it takes so many decoys to hunt them. It would be really expensive to have two or three thousand full body decoys out, so most people just use sack decoys instead. If you did use sack decoys, you would have to have blue geese in your spread also to make it more realistic because snow geese get scared pretty easily. So if you are sad that duck season is over this time of the year, then snow geese would be a good thing to hunt.

Duck Hunting Spots


Hello, my name is Peyton and this is my blog. It is mostly about waterfowl hunting but I might post things about hunting other stuff too because I live in Missouri and all there is to do is hunt........My first blog is what type of place is better for duck hunting: over dry fields or over water?


In my opinion, both can be really good at times. In winter when the all of the water is froze over, then obviously hunting over fields would be the only thing to do. Also when your are hunting over water you have to have a lot more decoys and you also have to have motion to make them look real. So field hunting might be a little easier. But pond hunting might give you a little more success because water is probably more appealing to a duck than a field at times. Just remember you will always have more luck if you go to where the ducks are already at.
