that looks like fun at least until you have to eat them. Do you have the only wheat stubble in the area or is that location just where they want to be for some reason? That's a lot of dead geese.

We have about a 100 acres of stubble but 3 lakes for the geese to sit on close by. As long as you let them land for a few days, they keep coming back. Shoot every day and they rarely come back.

Whack em and stack em Mo. I didn’t even get out yet which is the first early goose season I have missed in 15years or so. Just no geese in my usual area. My family even started chopping corn and that hasn’t brought them in yet. Usually a couple hundred in the field by now.

Some state guy on KFAN radio the other day said MN state goose population is down 50% from last year.

Some state guy on KFAN radio the other day said MN state goose population is down 50% from last year. Did he say why? My speculation was they got a late start on nesting because of the spring snow and then lost the goslings in the heavy rains and colder weather in early June. I hadn’t heard that confirmed yet.

I have extremely wide waterways we do not cut, I don’t cut my hay fields until the middle of june, I leave all crop stubble unplowed and all my corn stand until spring. I have eliminated the DNR on my property!

Quail and prairie chickens have taken a huge hit in KS and I think that changes in farming practices have had at least some to do with it. More residue seems to equal more wildlife.

Another flock of northern geese came in last night to my biggest wheat field about 200-300. I am bringing a different old guy out with me today. He sits in a chair in the decoys, not in a layout blind. so this should be interesting, or a disaster. But it doesn’t matter, he still has the drive to go.
