TexasParksandwildlifelogoWeekly migratory bird hunting reports are posted from early September through early February.

West Zone Goose: Temperatures in single digits and snow on the ground put Canada geese in a decoying mood the last weekend of the season. Outfitters reported limit shoots near Amarillo. The Light Goose Conservation Order began Feb. 7, but hunter interest is minimal. Outfitters have said the unstable weather has made it tough to pattern snow geese. Prospects are fair.

East Zone Goose: The first two weeks of the Light Goose Conservation Order has seen minimal participation. Best hunts have been posted over green fields near Port Lavaca. Flocks are scattered along the coastal prairies and expect concentrations to become even smaller as February grows older. Last week’s Arctic blast of cold air and slippery roads hurt hunter participation even more. Prospects are fair.
