I only killed 9 snows this year in so illinois I had to work when all the snows were in union county but next year I am going to put the hurt on them. I have purchased 200 more rags and have painted about 150 shells. I also plan on buying some full bodies. They wont stand a chance next year. I also killed two during regular goose season but those I sky busted out of frustration.

we killed around 400-450 snows and we had 2 banded blues. we should have kileld alot more but had a few days where we couldnt hunt that long and then we had some weekes where we couldnt hunt at all because of work and thats when all the birds were in illinois. next year we are bringin out somethin that them snows havnt seen yet. a 8,000 decoys spread with probably 3 e-callers. its gonna be hard to beat this spread ill have for next year. i might possibly be guidin over there next year so if anyone intrested in huntin the big spread let em know.

Well my dad's group killed around 100 this year. This is out of Ft. Madison, IA jsut across the river from Nauvoo Illinois. It was an ok year. I only shot one goose though. It sucked whenever I hunted.

8000 decoy spread, thats insane! 3- ecallers, i would love to hunt that spread just to see it, leaving for north dakota in a couple hours but we will only be hunting over 10 to 15 dozen decoys
