Snow Geese Report - Mound City, MO

Yes it is true while scouting for fields yesterday we spotted numerous bunches of snow geese. We are sure that this is NOT a migration but it does show that there are snow geese always checking Squaw Creek NWR. Since there was NO open water we watched them turn around and fly back south down the Missouri River valley.

Long Range Shooting

On those days when the birds just won't decoy inside 50 yards due to weather conditions normally no wind, myself and guides shoot patternmaster choke tubes which allows us to reach out up to ranges of 70-80 yards if necessary. Make it look like you dropped a hammer on um!!! No cripples again! Check out this remarkable line of choke tubes at http://www.patternmaster.com

Magazine Extension Tubes

There are two reliable extensions available so that this spring you can throw 6-10 rounds per flocks of geese instead of 3-5 rounds. I highly recommend surefire or briley extension tubes and you can check them out on their website. Just make sure you buy an extra case of ammo after you buy one.

Spring 2010 Outlook

If you haven't heard yet it has been reported that the overall snow goose hatch was good to excellant. Great news for everybody meaning there should be even more countless opportunities of decoying large groups of juveniles. I have a feeling that we will educate the young of the year very well. Boom!

Recipes - Snow Goose Stew

~ snow or blue goose breasts
~ 12 beef bouillon cubes
~ 10 cups water
~ 5 potatoes, cubed
~ 1 can peas, drained
~ 1 can whole corn, drained
~ 1 can green beans, drained
~ 1 can carrots, drained


Place the breasts in a large crock-pot. Cover with water and cook on high 12 hours. Good idea to do this overnight.

Drain the contents through a strainer. Rinse off the meat to remove all of the fat and "gunk". Rinse out the crock-pot.

Shred the meat and return to crock-pot. Add the bouillion cubes and water. Cook on high for 2 hours.

Add the potatoes and cook on high 1 hour.

Add the drained veggies and stir together. Cook on high 1 hour.
