I've been hearing geese traveling at night for a week now, that is a sign the migration is starting. Swans are showing up in unusual places and are beginning to flock up too. When they are heard, freeze up is close at hand.

Our early goose season ended a month ago. We've been in the regular season for a few weeks. The crops are just beginning to be harvested in the area, it is about a month late. That has made field hunting tough along with it being so rainy. I've done mostly pass shooting the occasional bird as even the local hay fields are way behind their last cutting.
