Title: Whos ready
Post by: Stuck-on-Seven on Aug 06, 2012, 09:00:11 AM
For early goose?! Little less than a month. Dog is looking good but he's got some last minute fine tuning to do. Gotta clean up the decs and do some more scouting and I should be ready to rock! Can't wait!

I might get my stamp this season just because there are so many geese and ducks on the river in the morning when we are bass fishing....    Just not sure about the regulations...

Key reg for you is that you can't shoot while underway.  Only place you can do that in NYS is Long Island, and only if you're trying to finish off a cripple.

Back to the OP -

Early goose around here is difficult, as the corn rarely gets cut soon enough, and the resident birds all hang out at golf courses, schools, and office parks, so you never get a good crack at them.

People come from all over to hunt the FAMED Great Bay in late Dec. early Jan. once the fresh stuf freezes they are so thick there you cannot see the sun, a true atlantic flyway orgy........ You guys can have them though they are like the bass and panfish of the wildlife kingdom when it comes to hunting ::)

NH is so narrow that when you shoot a bird you don't know if it is gonna land in Maine, VT or the Ocean... :o ;D  You wound a deer it may cross up to 3 state lines... 8)

Early season is tricky. Golf courses are gold haha. Water hunts usually end up turning out pretty good if you do your scouting. When I scout residents I find a big concentration on a water body then wait for them to fly to food and follow them to see where they are going. I have a couple decent green fields but when the corn gets chopped its game on! Scouting is key. Its a lot of work but the results can be phenomenal on a good field with an 8 bird limit  8). Plus its nice to only have to use 10-15 dekes and hunt warm weather as opposed to freezing and spending an hour setting up 100+ dekes  ::)

I saw three cut cornfields yesterday on the way home from the family reunion.  Can't remember the last time I saw them cut this early.
Title: Re: Whos ready
Post by: Stuck-on-Seven on Aug 13, 2012, 05:23:44 PM
Yup. A field I drive by a lot has one strip cut through it already (too bad ya cant hunt there) Green chopping doesn't leave much for the geese to eat but my cousin said his corn will be picked by mid October  ;D
Title: Re: Whos ready
Post by: Chucker on Aug 13, 2012, 07:53:44 PM
The geese or gulls along the Lake Ontario shore are eating the corn already.  There were little clumps of, shall we say, "partially processed" corn along the beach in Hamlin yesterday.
