Late season started out great on Thursday with a great number of birds harvested. Thursday night a cold front came through and after getting their bills shot off on the opener, the birds laid low for a couple days. Friday Bryce and I took a group out and and the hunting was tough. We tried our best but unfortunately the number of birds harvested was still only in the single digits.
We were hoping that the start of the warm up would trigger some geese into moving out of town earlier Saturday but unfortunately the birds still stayed low. The guys were able to shoot 11 which wasn't to bad but we were hoping for a giant number.
Today the weather finally broke and the warmth had the geese pouring out of town looking to feed after taking a couple days off. The 7 of us were able to kill our 21 geese in a short amount of time and we were all done by 12:30.
After seeing all the geese fly out today I can say honestly that the fat lady isn't even close to warming up yet on the Rochester goose season! There are plenty of birds around and we'll be out after them all the way through January 1st. If you want to hunt give us a call because the action is just heating up.
