As winter loosens its grip and spring rolls around, an opportunity to harvest snow geese presents itself. While the weather during the spring months is ever changing and unpredictable, chasing spring snows presents a very unique challenge. From muddy fields, blistering wind, frigid temperatures, snow, and even rain, you may ask yourself why would anyone want to brave those brutal conditions to attempt to shoot a few snow geese? Not to mention the setting up of hundreds or even thousands of decoys. Well the simple answer is for that sight of thousands of chattering snows that blanket the sky, locking up their wings above your decoy spread. This is a sight that is absolutely stunning and makes all the hard work that comes with spring snow goose hunting all worthwhile. Here are two tips to help you increase your odds of success as you hit the field this spring. The first tip to help you bag more snow geese is being able to conceal yourself well. These birds are a lot wiser then they get credit for, making them more challenging to fool. When you are trying to fool a flock of a dozen or so, concealment is less important. But when you are trying to fool thousands of birds, concealment is everything. By utilizing layout blinds and mixing them in the decoy spread you can better break up the outline of the blinds, which provides better concealment. Also by placing the layout blinds in depressions or low areas of the field you improve your ability to hide. Otherwise you can eliminate the blinds all together and dress in white clothing. This method is very effective for eliminating any unwanted outlines. The second tip I have to offer is invest in a good electronic caller. By utilizing a good electronic caller, you will have the ability to produce a variety of different snow goose calls to reach out to overhead geese. These electronic callers are more realistic then ever and some even have the ability to adjust the volume from a wireless remote. Being able to adjust the volume is important because as snow geese near closer, the volume should be turned down to avoid spooking birds. Lastly, another thing that has proved effective is using multiple calls to speak to large flocks that are flying above. Along with concealment and an electronic caller, it is important to always scout and find where the birds are sitting. Some other things to take into consideration are number of decoys, decoy placement, shell size, and regulations. Many states do not have a limit on snow geese, which allows you to put some meat in the freezer early in the season. So if you are anything like me and are ready to pull the trigger again, give snow goose hunting a try this spring! Good Hunting
