I'm surprised we haven't started an early season thread yet.
Has anyone been out scouting yet? With the poor crops this year I was concerned about geese utilizing the poor unharvested bean fields instead of the harvested wheat fields, but so far the geese I have seen have mostly been feeding in huntable fields. I did see a group of birds in a poor barely field but most of the fields around it were being actively harvested.
I'm hoping 2017 will be a turnaround year for early goose. It would be nice to see them group up in larger feeds like they did in the past and actually decoy better than the last couple years. We had some decent hunts in 2016, but nothing like the last year of the 8 goose limit.
Who all is ready to get out next week? I'm hoping to pick up a few more decoys for the spread and then I'm ready to rock.
