Take 'Em Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Had a another great weekend of hunting the very last birds around in eastern SD. 98 sat morning for 5 guys and one video taping, and a limit of 80 for Sunday morning for 4 of us. Sat was sunny and little wind with 700 silo socks and 3 vortex’s. Birds finished well, but a little more wind it would have been ugly. Also shot 2 bands, both Ross’s geese. Went online and mine was banded 7-22-2006 in Nunavut. That night the same roost was scouted and the birds feed in the same field as the morning hunt. So Sunday we set up in the same field. Sunday we used 800 custom windsocks because the wind was blowing strong and we don’t like the movement of silos in higher winds. All I have to say about Sunday morning is FOG, WIND, JUVIES, WOW! We had an east wind with the roost less than 1/2 mile west of us, so they were coming to the sounds of the callers. We shot are first birds at 6:50am (sunrise) and are 80 by 7:15am, 25 minutes and 80 geese. The birds worked/finished well to say the least. Sunday morning seemed more like duck opener. Warm, foggy and a limiting in no time. I really wonder what we could have ended up with without the 20 bird limit. Of the 178 for the weekend we had less then 10 adults. Put on a ton of miles to find these geese put in the end in was worth it. This was my latest snow hunt in SD by 8 days. Hopefully these birds will stick around a few more days so we can get another shot at them. If not I hunted with some new friends and shared some memories. It was a great spring? Enjoy my wife with two banded snows sat hunt april 19 sunday hunt april 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
