Goose hunters and permission

[densa44]

O.K. guys here is a tip or two. Even city boys can tell the pea crops now, they have the white flowers, after the combine goes through it will look as clean as a pool table but there are lots of peas on the ground and the geese will be all over them.

You have plenty of time to scout out a few fields, find out who owns them, and can you get permission after the crop is off?

Near Stettler there are more fields and some are next to water, could be a good year.

Wouldn't waste the time til hunting season. Only want to be where the birds are when I want to hunt 😉 Glad to hear on the pea front. Canola drives me nutz lol

I used to think that too but not anymore, I think the canola concentrates the geese.

Elk has just posted at we are 5 weeks away from opening day.

Where I live, if there are peas there will be geese. I have only seen a few fields but they were "huntable" small fields surrounded by tall trees. Great for "back shooting".

Start getting ready guys.

I just picked up 4 dozen Big Als Speck pack and a dozen canadas. The good specklebelly eats will begin soon. I just can't wait. Wish the ducks would color up faster though.

people think im nuts when i say this but i will take a barley or wheat crop over peas any day. peas attract a pile of birds but peas are so hard to hide in and brush blinds with that given the choice between 2 good fields i will take the barley every time.

Most of Alberta seems to be turned over in canola now. Drove from Canmore to Edmonton and saw more canola than ever.

Most places I hunt, Canola is grown every 2 years, rotating with a cereal crop or feed crop. Your probably just paying more attention to the crops now than ever before. If in fact there is more this year, your geese will be much easier to find.

That may be the case, plus since it is highlighter yellow, maybe they are more noticeable. I mean I haven't gone to check on the areas that I hunt, but my permission givers claim that there is pea, corn and wheat in the surrounding areas.
