I did my trial 30 days and have committed 2 months next year but am rolling out tomorrow morning.

I ll def go next year with you

I don't even believe 75-80,000 bird feeds, or at least 4 of them at one time in one area. Also, if you are seeing 200-300,000 geese every single day and are only averaging 52, even with only 4 guns, you are doing something wrong. Let's revisit this convo when you get your pictures and videos uploaded!

Cody we don't know each other and I am still considering giving your Arkansas hunt a whorl. I must ask if this is a typo or what. According to your math all four outfitters would have to average 333 birds every day for 30 days straight to hit 40,000 in a month. I have been chasing the white devils for a long long time, had lots and lots of 50, 60 up to 80 bird shoots. Only once hit over 100. The only reason that happened is because it was 500 acres of winter wheat they guarded for 2 weeks, 1500 sillo socks and full bodies and some of the best shooters I have ever met. All the conditions lined up. I am hoping your telling me this is a typo.

All the outfitters other than myself are running 4-5 spreads a piece

Swirling winds have been a huge problem but I finally got a spread that worked nearly everyday and when the wind would shift we could make a 10 minute adjustment and have em locked up in our faces opposed to over our shoulders or pass shooting. I never said we had 200k in the decoys. I hunt active feeds very near or on flyways

I'm running a 600-1000 piece spread with a custom hand built 6 speaker call system. The number of decoys used was heavily influenced by access to the X in the field. If we could drive my mule to the spread we set it all. If we had to walk things in we ran just socks

Sone of you guys are rediculous & wonder why this forum has tanked the last year or so. It used to be a fun place to talk about our passion, eaterfowling but now there's a bunch of know it all keyboard warriors.

I'm headed to Macks then headed south back home after hammering em for 30 days in one of the most target rich enviroments I have ever seen and can't wait to come back for #snows19!

You can�t expect to post a outrageous stats like that and not expect someone to question them. All you have to do is substantiate your claims with evidence so people know they�re legit.

Far from outrageous stats, I was in the dead center of the migration on prime land. As mentioned earlier, I'll be home late tonight. I haven't had wifi but I'll get it all uploaded tomorrow so I can make y'all eat crow

True or not they are outrageous stats. Unbelievable might have been a better word choice.

When you have a scout who drives several hundred miles a day, a huge network of farmers who hate geese being in their fields and have ice north and flooding south birds stack up!

The shooting wasn't great most days as most clients where running unplugged guns with no exstensions and they strggled killing the 6-24 packs that where locked up 15' over the deeks because they where in aww of the sheer numbers of birds and to worried about trying to kill a lot instead of 1-2 out of each volley.

80 clients I had left highly satisfied with my operation and all are rebooking again next year because they saw the work we put in to get the job done and the opinions and thoughts of my clients are all that matter to me since they pay my bills and make my business a success.

So Cody is rounding up, you guys give him a break.

Round up not down right lol

How many geese is that?

15k?

Check out Tony Vandemores facebook page. He has a video of several days hunts in AR. There,s some groups of snows on it that look like 40K or more. Biggest feeds I,ve personally seen were probably 25-30K in the 80,s and 90,s in TX. Seen larger #,s on roosts but they were spread out over a large area on a refuge. Anything over 40K would be tough to get a solid estimate on IMO. With the #,s of geese that funnel through AR, I would,nt be surprised to see feeds well over 50K.

Y'all are still on this lol

I shared a field that Tony and I estimated to have 150,000/200,000 birds in it while in AR. My feeds where realistically holding 40-60k and I had 3-4 per week that size. My clients and I had a ball shooting these sky carp in adult feeds over 30k and even set up on some smaller feeds 3/10k of juvies once they showed up which produced the best number days because they where much easier to finish the biggg wads.

When starting a new business you have to stay on people's minds and up at the top on forums and what better way then to round up, It worked and I'm 1/3 booked for next season by sharing harvest photos and this years client testimonys, so it worked. We harvested 723 geese and everyone's shoulder hurt after the day so I would say it was a great success!

I averaged around 50 birds per day over a smaller spread. I have already upgraded my spread to 1000 prices and upgraded all of our equipment off this years profit and leased 80,000 acres and have access to another 40,000 on a day lease contract so 2019 is going to be a blast

little bit of jealousy?

Who cares what the actual number is - that's a lot of birds! Great shooting and thanks for sharing all of the pics Cody. Next time use non-quantitative descriptors like *#%@ Load and @#$% Ton and maybe these guys will give you a break.Like the truck by the way.

My point exactly, I need a poop emoji! So I can say poop load lol

I really did have several 50-75k feeds but I didn't take many photos but will next season just to show how great the numbers are. I appreciate it! It's a '17 F-250 with a leveling kit, 35 Nitto Trail Grapplers, 55gal titan fuel tank, built in passport radar detactor, b&w gooseneck hitch and roll back bed cover. Had 2000 miles when I left and now has 6375! Lots of scouting = lots of success

Ummmm if you averaged 50 birds a day and you hunted 30 days that�s 1,500 birds... you posted you killed 723....Do the math again for us..John Paul�s been kinda on point... so was that 30 actual days you had decoys out?? Or you were in country?? There�s kinda a difference.. and to associate yourself with Tony, really?? Everyone knows you can catch huge bass and got big pen raised deer... Nobody denying that... Hats off to ya... No way you are even close to what Tony does in the snow goose business, quit associating yourself with him.... Justin hill killed more in the last week than you did the whole month... 😉 that�s a name you�ll want to know

I didn't hunt 30 days boss, I went 7 days before trips started to close deals and work on deals for the '19 season and we lost several days due to thunderstorms and flooding.

When me and my scouts run into Tony on the regular and have fields that are side by side in multiple instances then yes I mention the goose gods name. As a matter of fact the day before he pulled out to follow em up north I had acres to a massive feed and one of his guides rolled up and I let them have it because we had another massive one that was high and dry and not muddy. That's how most guides roll, we show respect to each other.

So Brian if you have a problem hit me up I mean I send guys your way on the regular so Not sure why the hate for a guy just making a business for himself that has ZERO to do with you and I'm even in another state. You stick to cacklers and keep doing you bro and I'll do me. Maybe when I start a gig in Lubbock we can have a beer and discuss.
