Good pics :!: The fish and game guys where I grew up in Kansas have given them a new nickname, "Sky Carp". They're beautiful birds, but they tend to overpopulate. Some of the plains states have opened up a free for all to get the numbers down. A guy who used to be our warden would meet us all at a friend's place to tag our cat's on the day the fur buyer came. This has been several years ago, but he told me they cleaned up literally over a million dead snows, specs, and blues that year in about a fifty mile area. They got some disease, and it wiped them. It was actually after that they opened the extended seasons on them. I don't don't do a lot of duck and goose hunting, but I took the biggest snow I've seen, and it's mounted coming in feet down on the wall at my place in Kansas. Wing span is 42". To you water fowlers out there, is that a good one :?:
