Since the season starts Sept. 1st, I was just wondering if any have been seen. I saw 3 Saturday but they were pet geese.

Canadians are always at the Ross Barnett. Saw a few while teal scouting. If you hunt'em there make your shots count. They ain't hanging around after the steel flys.

No, GH22 all the ones I've seen are 'Mississippian' Geese. [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] BWAAAAAAhahahaha [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

Heck, when I lived in Lake Charles, I grew-up hearin' folks call 'Canada Geese' Ringnecks....then, 'got to Mississippi and found out there's actually a duck called a 'ring-necked' duck (is that the correct terminologly, 'Ringbill'?) 'Didn't know what to call'em for a while....still don't!

We used to call scaup, Dos Gris, Blackjacks, Greaseballs, or Butterballs. 'Had to drop 'Butterball' when maw-maw said that was what we were havin' for Thanksgiving Dinner.....YUK! [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

'Didn't have any 'Rinked-neck ducks in the marsh and certainly not in the ricefield. I wouldn't have known WHAT to call'em other than 'Ringnecks', which then prompted me to start callin' Canada Geese, 'Honkers'. I give up!

Yeah yeah yeah I set myself up for that one. But if we are getting specific, you are correct, Ring-necked ducks. And I will be happy to eat yours, I love 'em!
