Goose Migration

[Justfishin73]

Is it just me or is the migration starting late this year? Local birds have kept us busy, but waiting for the big migration to start. I know a lot of crops have yet to come off, especially wheat, but sure hope they get moving soon. Was up in ft mac recently—early winter on deck for sure. Thoughts?

Drove from Camrose to Saskatoon this morning, and although the harvesting is much more advanced from the Battlefords to Saskatoon areas, I didn't see as many geese as I expected.

Last year it was late around me as well. A lot of fields are just now being combined.

Last year had massive flocks on the last few days of the season

It’s late. Thank god for all the water and good local hatch. About normal for our kill numbers but the historical patterns are not there. Hammering on the local birds seems to be about two weeks behind. Warmer in High Level then central Alberta.

I'm hearing from people in Sask that the migration is yet to heat up, ton of local birds still.

Oh common guys! Don’t you see what is going on here! He is just fishing for a good spots, waiting for replies like oh I am here and here so and so and we have tons of birds everywhere!
Nah, just kidding. Lol! We have seen a huge flocks east of the city with wave after wave coming... Flying a bit too high but we managed to get few. We went scouting and didn’t have any decoys so it was a crime of opportunity for us. With decoys we could’ve have bloodbath there!

You have to look WAY UP North.

There was snow up in the Yukon and cold in the Arctic circle LATE AUGUST, and birds did come down.

PROBLEM IS that in the Peace Block, there is lots of water and lots of feed in the field.

Until there is a hard freeze up north the birds will hold up as long as they can.

the nice part is that the birds will get here sooner or later.

Weather way up north is only just hitting freezing at nite, still not freezing that hard even in the NWT, and not much to push them in the Peace country, either. May be another couple of wks yet unless something up there changes. Our area cleared out last week for a few days, like normal, see what next wk brings.
Still seeing more honkers than anything else on the northern outfitters sites, some specks showing up, there are some in the Peace country, very little for snows yet, only a small few of full on snow shoots so far, even in Sask and they were only this last wk.. It is actually a bit early yet.
