Soupy fog and electronic callers can combine for fabulous up-close decoying action. The season will continue through April 1, though most huntable concentrations will have set their wings north by the beginning of March. Snow goose hunting has been average at best over the past week. Plenty of geese in the area, however, many are decoy shy. Liberalized hunting methods have helped though.
Most snows are on fresh green fields of rye grass or chopping down fallow hay fields.
Duck hunting on the bays was good this season. Rafts of redheads, pintails, widgeons and other divers were steady from Matagorda to Port O'Connor. A few snows in the Three Rivers and George West areas. Mostly dark geese are using cut corn and milo fields. Small concentrations of light geese are in the marsh near Rockport and Tivoli.
