Whitefront White-front geese (specs) covered the sand hills at our delta club when we arrived.
It wasn’t long before they were airborne.
White front, snow, Aleutian and cackling geese are swarming the Delta. With the goose limit at a record 8 – of which four can be white fronts, our goose hunting has been excellent and it looks like it might even get better.
Goose hunting is very weather dependent. On clear days they have a way of avoiding hunters, but in thick fog they are very vulnerable.

The geese are so thick that they have already begun to arrive at Mayberry Farms where they typically don’t arrive until January. Looks like the geese might be eating themselves out of food.
If that’s the case, we may see quite a few heavy straps of eight geese in the near future.
I got hooked on goose hunting last year, after eating a speck of the year. It was the best wild game I’ve ever tasted.
