    I’m hoping to hunt in March in SD. Probably won’t time out the way I need it to, but you never know. A high school buddy is home from a deployment in the service and we are planning a late ice/snow goose hunt in NE SD. Of course with no snow, I have a feeling the birds will be passing through quickly this spring.

    How do you think the migration will go? Assuming we don’t get dumped on with snow this month…

    1 million snows at Squaw Creek as of this morning!

    It’s definitely gonna be an interesting spring with the lack of snow.

    That is a sweet view!

    It will definitely be an interesting spring! Curious if this weather will continue. I’d personally love a deep snow line in Canada, myself.

    My wife and I were just discussing taking a trip to North Dakota to try and witness the spring snow goose migration.

    I used to hunt waterfowl religously but have never seen anything like that.
    So after seeing those photos, I wouuld like to ask you if there is a way to track the migration and put ourselves in a position where we could see it.

    Nothing like that at all…but we’ve had flocks of canadians flying north (super high) at 300 to a 1000 at a time. The winds switched out of the north/northwest and the flights have shut down. Poor birds are a little too anxious and running into a lot of ice yet. Snow cover around here is 75% gone, so a lot of available food!

    Jeff,

    Following the big concentrations of geese in the spring is pretty easy now-adays. The official Game and Fish reports will start up in SD any day…..if you follow the reports, finding geese is NOT hard.

    A pretty safe bet is the Sand Lake NWR near Aberdeen, SD…..3-4 week of March (depending on what mother nature has in store for the rest of spring).

    If you’ve never seen the spring migration of waterfowl in the dakotas….it will blow your mind. I see it every year, and it still blows my mind.
