Default Snow Geese with Early DH10

This 3 dog DH10 is in the 56xxx range and is still doing its job. Very mature snow goose in South Dakota.

I love those early three dog DHs. So, do you have snow on the ground in SD?

Not much Garry. Mostly in the ditches and shaded low spots. The geese are here in numbers and the juveniles are cooperating well.
I will post some more pictures later.

Jeff,
There may be 100s of thousands on Lake Thompson right now. Actually makes it hard to pull them in if they are adults. The juveniles are just getting there. In the picture, the cloud in the background is one of many waves getting off the lake. The harvest picture is a few hours of huntung.

Looks like pretty nice pits.Breakfast looks way more sanitary than a couple years ago.Hard to believe the geese are just showing up now,Everything else this spring seems early and they are actually later than usual?The White Fronts came through here seems like a month ago already.So be it.Happy hunting.

Jeff,
The juve’s are just showing up. Adults are what migrated early. The specks are so numerous on Thompson it is almost unbelievable. They must have had a great year.
