Are geese snipers a problem in your area?
Posted by HogBalls on 12/22/16 at 10:54 am10
In the last 5 years it seems the people scoping geese have gotten out of hand from SE AR up to NE AR. I hate to rat on people but I'm getting worried about a .22-250 round zipping through the blind from out of nowhere. Are band hunters bad in La?

Thats too much gun. A 17 hmr is plenty enough for a speck.

Not a problem here, but I've heard about it. Some biologist have suggested scrapping neck bands for this very reason.
ETA: Cool story, when I was 15 I had just gotten my driver's license. I went down to our lease by myself to meet another member for a hunt. After we were done I took the long way through some rice fields just to kill time and see birds. No bull shite I came upon about 15 specks sitting 30 yards off the road. 2 of them had matching pink neck collars. I was in the middle of no where. It took a lot of self control not to ease up the road, load up and come sneeking back down.
Looking back, I probably should have done it.

Never heard of that.
But yea I agree with redfish. A 17 hmr would be plenty

The guys I've seen parked on a flock are scoping them from 300yds away sometimes. I figure a 17 is useless at that distance and in the delta wind. I wouldn't be near as worried if they were using 17's but when you hear a high powered rifle going off its different.

No. Therein lies the problem. I'd have crept them on our lease.

that 4 year ban on goose creeping coupled with the mandate of steel and 30 and 3.. is without a doubt why we have a goose overpopulation problem.

5-10 years ago there was some guys shot and I believe killed in Illinois by some rifle guys shooting at their decoys. I'll try and find an article. The guys were in layout blinds I believe and were shot from the road 200-300 yards away. Pretty jacked up way to poach.
It'd be one thing to do it from like 50 yards away on half way domesticated birds, but from long distance is absurd.
