Has anyone on here used a cow board for sneaking on snow geese? I've seen some videos and it looks like an easier alternative to crawling through the mud for them.

Just heard about them late last season. I'm going to make or buy one for next year.

Probably an old Indian trick. Know I remember reading a Field & Stream short about them being used for Canadas somewhere in the Carolinas (before they started stopping short of there) when I was a kid and wanting to build a (then plywood) cow board to hunt groundhogs behind. Never did.

I'm going to build my own. Gotta make sure to put a big ol set of tits on it to mesmerize the male birds.

yes, they work, but ditching is preferable.. the cow is only a last resort.. pretty low success rate usually, but some days they work well.
