Goose hunting in North Louisiana

While hunting a ducky timber hole for woodies and mallards last week we had a big group of snows fly over. I thought I heard a spec hollar so I called at him and 4 of them immediately turned and broke away from the group. The snows followed and they were within 80 yards high and about 60 passes before flaring off of the mojo.
We are going back up to the same general location in tensas to hunt them this weekend. I'm a west louisiana native and nothing gets me going like a bunch of ready to decoy special bellies.
My question is this: why don't the locals and others that hunt up there hunt for them? Am I missing something?

geese are hard as hell to hunt. Lots of work in a lot of cases.
that's why i hunt them. that's why a lot of people don't

I understand that. I've hunted them for years just not there. I consider myself to be a barely above average spec caller though and the geese were all over it.

yea i just now saw your avi and figured that was geese. 
all the guys i know from up there just hunt deer and ducks 
i don't think the geese have historically been as thick there but i could be wrong.

That makes sense. A friend of mine who hunts up there says they always have some but I think he's probably referring to snow geese. 
The specs are pretty think up there right now and I intend to return them to average numbers

We usually hunt them over decoy spreads in our wheat fields made up of shells, rags, and a couple of kites. We do pretty good with them. Specks seem to decoy better than the snows and blues most of the time. With all the rain we have been getting lately the wheat fields are a slop hole. No fun trying to put out 300 decoys in wet gumbo so we haven't bothered with them yet.

I can't say that I've ever jumped specks (or snows) out of a timber hole. Regardless, we used to kill them, but only really target geese and only geese once or twice a year. The duck hunting was always too good. I also found it to be feast or famine. Heck of a lot of work to set all that out to only kill one or two sometimes.

I'm setting a spread for tmrw morning. Gonna try to whack some before this rain gets here

Yeah, I heard tons of geese fly over me last weekend whilst in the deer stand in Tensas. Good luck

Best time to hunt the specks around here is before duck season. Great fun and usually easy limits.
