May 21, 2002 – Migration Update

Spring planting is in full tilt across much of Canada, the only area left for a last chance at snow geese. And with tractors rolling across most of the fields in the path of returning light geese, hunters are hard pressed to find birds concentrated in any one area. As the spring thaw moves back toward the far reaches of Canada so have the snow geese, and hunter reports have become scarce. No doubt some of the “tundra plague” are still below their arctic breeding ground, but with only ten days remaining in the conservation order special season it looks as though the birds that have managed to elude waterfowler hunters ’til now have a good chance at making another run through the gauntlet next season.
