Sounds fun but what do you do with 400 dead snows? I know what my preference would be, similar to what I'd do with carp.I've hunted birds all over the country and i truly believe that until you've been in a layout blind with a tornado of 10,000+ snows landing in your decoys and you pile up 400+ in one morning with 5 guns you haven't lived.
A very close second in my book is being in a layout blind in a lightly snow covered corn field in south or north dakota and having thousands of big northern mallards & full sprig pintails tornading down on top of you.
3rd for me would be ruffed grouse in the northwoods
4th would have be a good early season wood duck shoot over a small pond tucked back in the middle of the woods
5th - decoying cranes in a wheat or barley stubble field

There’s all kind of stuff. People’s lack of skill at cooking factors into the meat not tasting good than the meat it’s selfSounds fun but what do you do with 400 dead snows? I know what my preference would be, similar to what I'd do with carp.
No argument about that, but "400"? Who's eating 400 snows.There’s all kind of stuff. People’s lack of skill at cooking factors into the meat not tasting good than the meat it’s self
we ended up with over 1200 in a 4-day stretch. We gifted a bunch of them to a Hutterite colony and we made a pile of snack stix and brats that were awesome. The bird hitch got plenty of work them days.Sounds fun but what do you do with 400 dead snows? I know what my preference would be, similar to what I'd do with carp.
Man that's a ton of work. The brats and snack sticks sound like a good idea. I've had jerky from them before that wasn't bad but it wasn't my favorite either.we ended up with over 1200 in a 4-day stretch.

The Duck-Hunting thing is cool and all. And I've done it like maybe 4-5 times. But for my situation... that drive out to Wister on the Salton Sea... that's just a lot of expense for something like that where the other part of it is you knowing and being familiar with which blind locations are the productive ones.I love dove hunting but really only the first couple weekends. Duck is fun but I swear you have to be a bit deranged to be a serious duck hunter.
Sick photo.Pheasant very smart birds!
Nothing like my Jagds pushing fields or ditches and flushing several roosters at one time.
Best quail hunting when you find a huge tumble weed loaded with quail just a few birds flush at a time for a good 5 minutes. View attachment 568982
