BilletHead Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 General goose season is just about done, Thank goodness for the thaw. Just thing a few days ago we woke up to 4 degrees here in BilletHeadVille. Just a few open water spots the geese were keeping open. Not seeing any at all but those cruddy snow geese we really done want to mess with. We still had frozen ponds yesterday morning but birds were moving. We mad a drive and hatched a plan. Big wind all night and 55 degrees this morning. We loaded up and headed out to our spot. Put out 18 floaters in the pond and 18 full bodies behind our layouts in the fescue field. Pat grassed the blinds well and we disappeared awaiting the morning flight. Birds began to fill the skies. Snows at first then canada and white fronts of course the specks wouldn't play but the Canada geese did . A little after nine our last bird hit the water lights out and belly up. A mix of greater, lesser and a bonus cackler not much bigger than a mallard, We had the little trailer packed, I am hoping to get out maybe one more time before it closes Wednesday.

You know Kendall I am no scientist but here is one example on the internet. I know the lesser Canada geese we have shot that were banded are much larger. We shoot one a year of these little dudes. One year I shot two. http://www.ducks.org/hunting/waterfowl-id/cackling-goose BilletHead nomolites, Daryk Campbell Sr and Johnsfolly 3 "We have met the enemy and it is us", Pogo If you compete with your fellow anglers, you become their competitor, If you help them you become their friend" Lefty Kreh " Never display your knowledge, you only share it" Lefty Kreh "Eat more bass and there will be more room for walleye to grow!"

Daryk Campbell Sr Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 I was curious what the cackler was myself. Thanks BH. Looks like a great time.

Have ate them too. Trick is not preparing them right it is to not preparing them wrong. snagged in outlet 3 1 "We have met the enemy and it is us", Pogo If you compete with your fellow anglers, you become their competitor, If you help them you become their friend" Lefty Kreh " Never display your knowledge, you only share it" Lefty Kreh "Eat more bass and there will be more room for walleye to grow!"
