Snow goose hunting

Postby Capttrae » Sat Dec 20, 2014 5:18 am

I decided today to go snow goose hunting up in AR come February, found an outfitter called Fowl Rack outfitters that hunts up that way, price wasn't bad, I figure what's the worse that could happen? Not kill anything? I'm assuming we will be hunting out of lay out blinds. Any tips on keeping relatively warm? I'm figuring it's going to be colder than crap. I'm thinking of buying a waterproof mat of some kind to lay on the keep off the ground a bit and wearing my heater body suit. I know it'll keep you warm, used it in Iowa during the 2nd shotgun season a few years ago, stayed nice and warm when it was bone chilling cold.

Keep warm? Thats like a tropical paradise down there. In my area we never hunt them in the warm weather. And we dont use floor mats or heated suites.

Just layer up. I use my layout blind on ice shelfs on the bay during late duck season. I wear my waders and a few layers on top. I'll stay warm to about 20*. Colder than that and the water is usually too hard drive a boat and put decoys out anyway.
