My son and I had a good shoot after the first snowfall had melted. Hammered Canada's with a couple of Italian shotguns, at the edge of a corn and barley field. Inexpensive Challenger shotgun shells work really great, easy to locate after the shoot.

A small retriever for large canadas! Also a reminder to all that get to shoot Sandhills, make sure the bird is dead before you let your dog go. That spear of a beek can quickly blind a dog. Ps nice group af geese.

A week of mild weather may make another hunt in the morning possible. Hopefully i’ll get in on some good action from northern birds heading down.

Anyone hunt waterfowl in the South Okanagan or Princeton area? I know waterfowl can be challenging in the Okanagan but just looking for tips since I see Geese absolutely everywhere on beaches and orchards where I am located.

good to know. does the geese got the marine taste due to their food intake or no?

A video I put together with a few highlights from the past decade waterfowling on the prairies. I can't believe I've been here 10 years already. I should have moved here 40 years ago when I finished school. Oh well here is to the next 10 years.
