So guys I know it’s not crappie, but hunting is a big part of my life and it will continue to be until I can’t do it anymore. Six months lead time on my jet drive lower unit (made the switch…gonna have me a dedicated riverboat, and a separate crappie boat…looking into a pontoon) so I’ve began the tedious task of getting ready to hunt birds in Prarie Canada, Nodak, WKY, SEMO and of course NE Arkansas’s Grand Prarie. I’ll be buddy hunting (for fun not for currency..guide speak) for a week in Manitoba then
my obligations begin. We run a non resident hunting club from my base in Nodak which is nothing short of extraordinary, barring S Texas it’s the best hunting I’ve done on this side of the Border. After Halloween I make my trek back to NE Arkansas where I’m guiding with Blue Silo Duck Club,LLC for Specks and Snows. It’s an ardent task but I love it, somehow out in that gumbo mud I find peace, serenity and I do some of my best thinking. I hope you boys keep sore lipping those crappie for me while I’m out of pocket. I know it’s a transition time and not many guys are fishing but man I’d have been out there today, i love the drizzly weather keeps the traffic light and the fish generally don’t mind to bite. I guess the takeaway from this long winded post was I miss the “thump” and I miss telling lies to my fishing buddies. Y’all be safe out there I’ll be w y’all in spirit.

I spent 30+ years in the gumbo mud of SEMO, 20 of it as a snow goose outfitter and guide. I miss the excitement of a tornado of snows raining down on our blinds, working my labs, and hunting with new and old friends. I don’t miss weeks of 4 hours of sleep per night , scouting till dark then the next morning finding 20K snows have disappeared, or endless hours prepping for and after hunts, and gumbo mud.

Best of luck in your chases.

Snow goose season is not for the faint of heart. In my opinion the toughest game birds of them all. When you decoy a group of adult snow geese make no mistake, you’ve done everything right. Gettin goosebumps just talking about it.

I once dated a little princess that lived on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. The geese would fly over her daddy’s house for weeks and weeks. I saw a field that had been planted to attract them, and it was an amazing sight. Everywhere there was a place a goose could be, there was a goose there. Millions all packed in tight to one another. The sound was insane. The snow geese would have been easy enough, tree top level, but her family didn’t want me shooting any of them. It was the first time I felt that I could get a bird with my bow.
