Booked my first waterfowl hunt (Snow Geese)

[Redbeard]

Ours is for aleutian not snows. And while they can put a hurtin on our little coastal region, their population is just a drop in the bucket compared to the snows y'all see. A 25 bird limit could be devastating

[obxbufflehead]

our conversation hunt has a 6 bird limit

That sucks. Ours is 25/day regular season no possession limit,and no bag limit or possession limit during conservation season, plugs not required.

Ours is 25 regular season and conservation season.

If he offers to do a sneak, take him up on it. You'll never have so much fun as creeping up on 5,000 snows and jumping them, blasting away. The time should be good- generally the later the better, at least down here.

x100 on the sneak. Did one in Mississippi and got five in two shots. First shot was a misfire.

I'm still kicking myself in the ass for not getting that blue mounted.

just 5? You didn't sneak close enough

It was just me shooting. Could have had more if the first shot had gone off.

did the "click" spook the birds?

Damn benelli's

Surprised you don't pull the trigger once right before the jump out of habit to clear the "click". Hopefully leaving you with three repetitive shots

If you are talking about the bolt not going forward all the way it's only happened 3 times. 2 were my fault and the other was vines pulling it back a little.

My $150 870 goes boom when I pull the trigger.

yes, 3 in BB is more than sufficient.. mod is your best bet unless you are used to using an improved mod. with an im though, i would stay with 3in BB and smaller...

as for jumping..

105 in a 2 man jump


6 man jump


but hunting them with decoys, while not as productive, is ALOT more fun.

I agree, getting them to tornado in is a blast when everything works...sometimes just have to take the hunt to them.
