I've been looking for the geese...
I'm in Southern Illinosi and I've seen a few more geese the last few days, but we're still waiting on the migrators to really start coming down. We've killed a few locals...
Anybody know were the geese are really holding up at??? :?: :?: :)

BFD, I went to St. Louis today, saw a ton of geese in the sky around Springfield Area, but not a single one south of their. Going out tomorrow morning, wish us luck.

BFD Congrats on the limits, sucks about the quota zone being close to closed, we went out this morning for a water hunt, had to start packing up at 9:30 two of the guys hunting with us had previous obligations. The geese here seem to flying a little later, they really started flying after we got off the water. We did kill one spoonbill, but that was it. Will try to hit thwem a few more times before the central zone closes. Then I will head south for the remainder of the season.

max4 took till 9am today, they are getting a little wiser. river is tryin to open 40 deg. here today im just afraid it wont get opened up soon enough. i love hunting them on the river here. snow is starting to go so im sure they will stay up here long after our quota is met. gonna keep at um till the DNR makes us quit. :roll:
