[QUOTE="Traxion, post: 152892, member: 983"] My snow goose hunting progression went like this- Built 400 SS in college, along with ecaller, etc. Hit the spring migration a few years, did OK at best. Spent hours worrying about being too late in the migration, LOL that never happened. Kept building the spread, got up to 750 decoys with lots of gadgets. Spring hunting didn't change much. Started going to Canada in the fall, got completely spoiled. Shooting birds right off the tundra was 10x easier than spring hunting. Not a slam dunk, but consistent success. Staged birds are so much nicer than migrators. And no MUD! Kept hunting the spring, finally learned to go later. Had some bad hatch years, some serious mud, and some serious flops hunting wise. Having 80k geese in a section for three days and then none come back, yeah that type of flop. Slowly lost the fire. Switched jobs, got the family life going, and finally sold everything. Just took too much energy! I still have an itch to go here and there. But, given the amount of time, money, and energy, it might be the one type of hunt (other than a backcountry elk trip) where I would hire a guide. To go jump in a blind would be sweet, no hassle other than that. I still get the decoy fever though. If I lived right under them I would still be hunting them, just too far to drive for me. Post lots of pics, I love seeing good hunts. Get back at them for me, I surely owe them for a few days of laying in ankle deep mud LOL! [/QUOTE]
