Austin Woods & Waters November Goose Hunting Report
by Corey Gaskill
(reproduced with permission from THE GAME BAG / December 2006)
Who says you can't shoot geese on a blue-bird day? Well, for one, me. Too many prior trips of getting skunked when the weather was perfect for golf. On November 16th, it was one of those days. A high had parked itself over Texas and every star ever made was visible the night before from the front porch of our lodge at Clifton Tyler's hunting camp. No change in the multi-day forecast either. I just knew the five of us should have brought our golf clubs and just kissed off the money spent on the goose hunt. But there we were and were going hunting anyway. Hard to drive that far and not show up for the morning hunt.

Pioneer of the Prairie
By Wayne Waldrop
There are many people who can be given credit for pioneering our hunting heritage into what it is today. There have been pioneers in the development of modern firearms and archery equipment, ammunitition, game calls, decoys, conservation practices and many other innovations that have led to hunting as we know it today.
But when it comes to snow goose hunting, no one can be given more credit for being a pioneer than Marvin Tyler, He shot his first snow goose in 1950. Only four yers later, in 1954, he made his mark in history by developing and using the first "Texas Rag Spread." His new concept revolutionized snow goose hunting into what it is today.

Dog Days of Goose Hunting
By Russell Tinsley
 After more than four decades of chasing geese, my many hunts
over the years have been pretty much the same. While all were
fun, and some more productive than others, only a few were uniquely
different.
This one made the short list.
