Hours of scouting and who knows how many tanks of gas paid off big this week.
3 hours after unloading our decoys and only 45 minutes after our first shot was fired we limited out 5 guys on geese. One banded. Funnest shoot ever!
We had geese literally dropping on us from 5 directions at one time, we could hardly hear the shot called because they were honking so loud.

Wow! what a shoot! Seems like most goose hunting in Utah requires excessive amounts of scouting and landowner PR hours. Were you guys in snow blinds or ditch hunting it?
I would think they were probably hunting Idaho where the limit is 4 birds per hunter.
We were in our layouts. ya you definately gotta do your homework to get into the geese. this hunt put us up to 106 geese on the season, 4 banded
We only eat a several birds a year, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Super bowl, don’t know what I would do with anymore of them.
I used to think the same way and i wouldn’t eat much, Now i eat waterfowl all the time, bbq goose sandwichs at work, tons of jerky, crock pot roasts. I’ve really learned to love eating waterfowl! and it’s a good way to make up for a little bit of the money i dump into the hunt!
american falls field ;)?
Never even been to A.F. but heard there’s lots of birds up there, i’ve been wanting to get up there and scout, you got any tips for me?
I have also done the goose jerky and smoked some. My cousin has a great recipe for goose jerky, I just prefer my elk & deer jerky better I have a great recipe for that. Not trying to say you shouldn’t kill that many, hell, kill some more, God knows we have plenty of those buggers around.
