smallmunster Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 My brother and a bunch of his college friends went snow goose hunting in South Dakota on Saturday and managed to get into a few My brother got there late in the morning and they had already killed about 100. They ended up with 185 for the day. My brother's dog (the Small Munsterlander in the pictures) brought back 27 snows from as much as a half mile away (glided before coming down). Not bad for a dog that had never retrieved a goose before. The field was very muddy, up to shin deep. There was about 20 of them over the course of the day and they shot about 1000 rounds and had around 900 bag dekes out. There were only 6 hunters left at the end of the day and it took them 5 hours to carry the blinds, dekes, and geese to the road in the deep mud. They boned out the meat and are going to grind it into brats. I would have loved to have been there for the hunt, but have to say from the sounds of it, I would have not enjoyed the clean-up.

clayman Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 Re: South Dakota Snow Goose Hunt That's a whole lot of goose meat! But over 1,000 rounds for 185 geese...that's about five rounds for every goose killed. Somebody's got to work on their shotgunning skills.

smallmunster Posted April 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 Re: South Dakota Snow Goose Hunt I think one had a band, didn't hear about any neck collars. The 1000 rounds was an estimate, but from the sounds of it they were not shooting the best in the morning. I know my brother is not the best shot in the world.
