Conservation Order from the USFWS...

Snow Geese are overpopulated and destroying their own habitat in the Arctic Tundra.  Extreme measures must be taken immediately in order to attempt to decrease the population of Lesser Geese.  What does this mean to the waterfowler in Middle Tennessee?  It means that you should load up the truck, grab the dog, and take the plug out of your shotgun.  The season is extended until the end of April, there is no bag limit, no possession limit, and electronic calls are allowed!   It is time to do what you can as a conservationist in order to protect the eco-system of the Artic Tundra! 

Post-season hunting of Snow Geese (Lesser Geese) can offer the hunter one last chance to let loose the guns on decoying waterfowl each year.  A last hurrah before stowing the decoys and dreaming of the next duck season opener while working on the 'honey do' list. 

Tim Moore and I gave Snow Goose hunting a try during February of 2003.  Neither of us knew what to expect our first day out.  We quickly learned that it could be some of the most frustrating and exciting waterfowl hunting available.  If you have never seen a large concentration of Snow Geese in person, you are in for a treat.  These spastic geese, sometimes called 'Sky Carp' can prove as elusive as the wariest mallard and are pretty darn good to eat!
