We’re having a work weekend to get ready for big opener next weekend, so will be out around gueydan hoping to get lucky. Have heard there have been small
Scattered groups around for last couple of weeks.

Anyone else going to try? Reports?

Going fix up the blinds tomorrow to let the kids youth hunt. Not thrilled about the weather Saturday but hopefully catch some fish after. No geese or ducks to be seen.

Tried sandhill crane. It’s better than duck but no where near the shittiest cut of ribeye you can find. I was thoroughly disappointed.

Surrounded by rice fields in northern vermilion. Haven’t seen or heard any geese yet. We were loaded with teal a month ago for about 2 weeks, and they have been very spotty small groups since then. When the geese show up they show up big time, but I don’t think they are here in any decent numbers yet.

Do geese still migrate to Louisiana? It seems every prairie state and Arkansas have geese all winter. Back in the day when I used to hunt, we slayed the mallards in SWLA. I'm not sure mallards migrate to Louisiana much anymore. But I suspect you can kill the hell out of ringnecks.

In the the past we would normally have half the farm covered in snows and blues and thousands of specks and even a few hundred lesser Canada geese. I rode around today not seeing a single goose on the entire farm. Its only getting worse every year.

Done crane smoked, roasted, fajitas, chicken fried and grilled. Fine eating. Still prefer Speck over all the rest.

Within the past ten or twelve years I've hunted Colorado, Kansas, South Dakota, North Dakota and Oklahoma. I've driven through Nebraska to get to some of those places. I've seen bunches of dark and light geese working the fields in these states. I've seen thousands of ducks on an impoundment in North Dakota in December. I'm sure Ducks Unlimited will claim success in those states. But for the benefit of these states, there been losses in Louisiana and Texas. From 2004 until 2011, I lived in Cypress Texas. On a cold October night, I've heard flock after flock of geese flying over. And in my retirement in East Texas on the lake, I used to see numerous migrating flocks of geese probably from 2014 until about 2017. I haven't seen any in years nor heard them. The sub city of Bridgeland in NW Harris country used to provide habitat for ducks and geese. It's all houses now.
