Message: <blockquote data-quote="Fritz the Cat" data-source="post: 125228" data-attributes="member: 605">When I started hunting Canada Geese the daily bag limit was one. We didn't have a lot of flocks to work with and when they came in it was easy to limit, vacate the field and not educate more flocks. Today the limit is 5 in my area and it takes longer to limit, thus educating more flocks. And there are more hunters hunting them because they can shoot 5 instead of just one. However, the result is six of one half a dozen of the other. Goose hunting today is still better than it was 20 years ago. Non-residents are a non-factor. They have to hunt within a certain time frame and if the weather isn't in their favor they're not going to do well. One time some non-resident friends and I hunted Friday Saturday Sunday. Blue skies, no wind, cold and the geese were coming off late. We had the whole place to ourselves, not another rig within 10 miles. Never fired a shot. They had to go home. Monday morning I slept in and looked out the window at 8:00 am. Snowing and warmer. Called another bud and headed out. There were decoy rigs in every field. We couldn't find a field. Desperate we threw down in the flyway. We could see geese coming and then we could see them falling out of the sky before we heard the shots. There was a rig on the other side of the hill. Shit. They limited, vacated the field and then we got shooting. It was amazing to me that so many guys could turn out on a Monday morning. They weren't non-residents.</blockquote>
