great huntin, only thing i hate about where i live in western pa is that there are no geese on gamelands but you go to a tiny pond in the city and you could probably hit 20 with one shell.
You know that targeting banded birds affects the harvest limits the following season right! Its one of the methods states use to estimate the size of the goose population. By shooting more banded you make the population appear, from a data standpoint, to have decreased... thus decreased bag limits/ days a field.
@Mountainbiker035 1st of all, with that way of thinking it sounds like your stuck in the 90's. It doesn't limit the season, but it does help to establish guide lines. With any renewable resource, there has to be management. And actually our seasons are actually quite liberal here in PA, especially in the early goose season where we are allowed 8 birds per day. We don't TARGET bands, but we sure do report em... If you wanna keep the resource, make sure to do your part as well.
@Mountainbiker035 do you know the questions you get asked when you buy your migratory license on how many you killed of each determines the population more there is also surveys you can participate in which is helpful to manage waterfowl populations
@Mountainbiker035 bro, you think they were targeted? have you ever hunted? I doubt they were picking out those 3 birds of the 9 and got 2 more without bands---you can't see that stuff when your shooting that quick.---
@Mountainbiker035 They put bands on birds to track migration, the only way they get the info from the bands is people killng them..... obviously. And how would they know there were bands on the birds when they shot?
@Mountainbiker035 Targeting banded birds? These guys must have some sort of superhero vision to be able to pick out the banded birds in a flock of moving geese. Could it have been one hell of a good shoot? That's my guess.
Boy are you naive. Ever hear of the Duck Stamp? It is for migratory birds, and their taking is regulated federally in the US in addition to state hunts. Also I have never heard of Canadian geese, there are these birds called Canada Geese that I enjoy shooting whenever I get a chance, but nope no such thing as Canadian Geese.
@mikelching you couldn't be more completely wrong....the Canada goose has become over populated and a problem in Canada it destroys habitat in the north by over browsing(harming other species food sources) because of unusually high numbers returning made possible by all the feed in agriculture fields in its southern wintering grounds,as well as having become a pest in the city and at airports ...not only is Canada goose hunting encouraged they even open extra seasons now in some places.
@mikelching actually the u.s. fish and game makes national limits and the states just post them and enforce them, usually goose season is opened in november and ended sometime around january or february.
@Wormen88 Actually it is not the same thing... Careful what you write, your stupidity is showing. Are you and mikelching hugging the same tree or in the same protest line to protect the red imported fire ant?
@mikelching I don' t know where you get your info from, but canadian geese are like flying rats in MN. The goose season is twice as long as duck season because of it. They are a mess and a lot of people consider them a menace.
@mikelching That would be news to me and the billion dollar industry of hunting them. There are so many of them in South Dakota that we open up special management hunts on the locals before the northern birds migrate in. They have reached the level of pests. I bet I have over a thousand fly over my house in town every day, even in the winter.
@mikelching how...stupid...are...you? they HAVE A CANADIAN GOOSE SEASON IN MAINE! as a matter of fact as of 4-16-11 at 7:27 am the season for 2011 CANADIAN GOOSE hunting is from the date of september 1st-25th and it is labelled as CANADIAN GOOSE, not american/or otherwise, just CANADIAN, so be quiet, and stop trolling.
The way we hunt, we use a modified and many of us use 2 3/4 since they are so close, but I use 3 inch shells, and can take the geese easily with 4s but I normally hunt with 2s.
@direwolfmusic We eat swans every spring and fall, I usually bone the breast and legs, use the other meat all in one big pot of soup. It feeds my family for two days. Don't forget the heart and gizzard. Serious. I've always eaten swans.
@stewpeezy72 I got a few bands all the way up here in Alaska quite a few years back. Before I knew about sending in the info. I don't remember where I put them for the life of me. Haven't shot any banded birds since then, and that is quite alot of birds between then and now. That was when I was 13, am now 25.
It seems to me these guys pulled up on them too late. I would have pulled up on them as they were coming straight for at the blind about 2 seconds earlier.
yeah man, yall are lucky. I shot a banded goose the other day. we had a group of about 2 dozen come over us high as hell. i got 1 out of the bunch. fucker weighed about 20 lbs and a neck of around 5 inches around. Was banded. Great kill man
we are from canada and are about an hour and a half north from the sweetgrass montanna border and once my grandpa shot a banded goose that was from washington dc,i guess it was a long ways from home lol
ive hunted for 4 years, both rivers and my lake, and killed many hundreds of ducks, not too mant geese, but ive only had one band! You must have the odds with you!
mainly because with land conservation, you can keep the same birds basically year around. We have alot of teal and wigeons, mallards seem to be at bigger bodies of water. we have a damn, grow crops in the spring and flood around mid october.
When your decoying geese, how many decoys do you need as a minimum? Me and my dad are thinking about buying some goose decoys, but we dont wanna get like 20 - 30 because there so exspensive and we would only use them like once a year, so if we just got 3 or four would they still work well?
We did the exact same thing this season. 9 came in. 3 got dropped. All 3 banded. I bet the whole flock was banded. Wish I had mine on video. Good job.
The banded birds have been captured in the wild by the us fish and wildlife service, or Canadadian wildlife agencies and banded as to track migration patterns. They have a metal band on there leg with a number, which you call and report. They send you a certificate with the banding information on the bird, including banding location and age of the bird!!
Nice! Way-layed em' good!
Would be nice to see the bands though.
Not saying you didn't shoot 3 banded birds out of the same flock, but to the wankers who don't believe you, this would prove your telling the truth.
Nice shootng anyway.
