    Ok headed up to Sask in 24 days, 6 hours, 32 minutes and hoping for any reports anyone is willing to share. Not many reports for almost 2 weeks into September. Any intel appreciated.

    17 Days for us, a few Snows are starting to push down but not huge numbers yet. I suspect with the next Full Moon that it will be on.

    Twelve days for us. Praying for dry weather & the wheat coming off. From what I am hearing, there are a few birds showing up.

    Afternoon Goose Chasers,

    We leave next Thursday for Saskatchewan, good to hear about the Cranes and Snow Geese. Many will get to ride back to New Mexico. Stay safe and have fun this year chasing birds.

    Guys have been getting into them pretty good already considering its all adults. Group I know of 9 guys shot about 70 today, not a single juvie.
    Snow and Ross population is gonna take a hit this year for sure with the pressure all concentrated on the breeding adults.

    My guess......they are shooting all those non breeders from last year's super hatch. They are the first to migrate.
