I'm booked with an outfitter for a morning in a couple weeks. So I'm sure hoping to. Can do a lot of outfitted hunts for the price of gas and equipment.

We were out on Saturday, but a bit of a bust. Plenty of mature birds but didn't spot many juveniles.

Still early. Funny every year everyone gets excited and first sign but if I go back every year peak is usually same time every year regardless of where we’re at with the weather. Like clock work. Looking forward to it!

They are around, just scattered, nothing much in the way of big bunches. Friend went scouting, saw one marginal flock in a cornfield, fella had his cows in there, no go. I didn't see any today, put about 140km on to check a place out east. Almost got a honker that was on side of road, cleared hood by about a foot, roof by maybe 6". Water is starting to open around here, lots of open spring ponds, one reservoir open around edges, some half open large ponds.

Snow goose has been high on my list for a while, we don't have the greatest waterfowl hunting up here. What dates do you find the numbers peak??? I'd like to do an outfitted hunt next year and it would help narrow down dates.

Yessir! Foothills elk rut same time every year. Dry, wet, snow, drought it's the length of daylight time triggers the love However, us dummies tell ourselves it will be early or late this year depending on work holidays to hunt. lol

Frank and I got one more run at them Monday morning before he headed off to work yesterday, not as great as before but we still managed 16 birds, shut it down early as it was starting to rain and the wind was picking up, plus wanted to get Carter to school on time, another beauty morning
