February 8, 2002 – Migration Update

Snow goose activity is hot in northeast Arkansas with jump-shooting providing the best harvest success. Southern Illinois hunters are reporting good numbers of field feeding snows in corn fields with standing water, though harvest tallies are low. In Texas, snow goose activity is good to fair in the north and central northeast portions of the state with few reports from all other areas. Light goose hunting is poor in Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and most of Missouri due to recent snowfall. In New Mexico light goose numbers remain good in Bosque del Apache though hunter success is slow around the refuge.

Despite the burgeoning population of Mid-Continental Light geese if anyone should know the whereabouts of, say, 4-million or so unaccounted for birds, please call our offices immediately — inquiring minds want to know.
