Snow Geese - Conservation Order

To be successful, be ready to put in a lot of work. A lot better after the season is over to do conservation hunt.

Any of you guys hunt during the Conservation Order between the two splits?

Hell yeah.

Apparently there's no bag limit and no limit on the amount of shells your gun can hold. Is it absolute anarchy out there or what?

Snows, blues and ross only. No specks.

It's a fun hunt. It can get crazy if you are on the X and have the right weather, but for the most part even in a heavy concentration of birds I'd think most hunts average 10-20 geese. I have seen piles of 100+ before, but that's an exception more than the standard.

and you know a crabber that will take those sky carp off your hands for you

Likely

When we were young we would do a ton of sneaks on them. Best day I was a part of was 8 guys killing 478. I never ever want to do that again. Chasing cripples and carrying them back to the truck is enough to make my body ache just remembering. My thumbs were raw for what felt like weeks. Now I just depend on former students who will go kill a ton and I can just have them drop off 50-100. I just breast them and make jerky. Only way I want to eat them.

Definitely the best way for numbers but there’s not much like hundreds of snow geese landing all around you in a white spread.

I talked to some guys that saved a bunch up and had summer sausage made. T

I've done it and would do it again. Goose sausage is legit.

After a big conservation hunt, we breast those skyrats and make sausage. My cousins will hack up the legs for crab bait for later in the year.

For pass shooting, bigger is better. For decoying birds 3” #2s is what I shoot.

Have an email Clyde? I definitely have the geese
