Heading to south central IL for 2 days of goose hunting. This will be the 3rd yr going. So long the roads and fields are not under too much water the weather looks great for Friday and Saturday.
Hope to have a muddy bloody pile o birds to post in a few days

Don't shoot the ones heading south because that season is over,only shoot the ones heading back north.

My wife says: that's what our basement looks like, heck sometimes I get a call from Cabela's wanting to buy some of my overstock.

Would you mind passing along the name of the guide service? Yes. South Central Snows. I can't afford to do it on this scale I think he runs 4 or 5 pits. 4 of them have 4000 decoys. 1 pit was much smaller but still more than I could afford.  |

Thanks! Would you recommend them? How are the success rates, could I get away with a 1 day hunt? |

Overall success depends on birds and how well you and your group hide. Very few juvies this year so they have been grinding it all season. They were hoping a good push of young birds. He hunts every day into March. Said 2/14 was open and still some spots in March. This was my 3rd year. 1st year we killed 50 to 60. Last year it was 15 and this year 12. Thise are long days for 6 guys to kill less than 20 birds but it is hunting. |
