Description
PART 2/3 BOOM YEARS. In a single, recent American generation, Coastal Texas snow goose hunting went from boom to bust--from a fabled hunting experience that drew hunters from around the world to a soon-to-be chapter in history.

Legendary Texas outfitter Larry Gore--whose high school project became a half-century guiding career-- his son Isaac, to whom he's passed the torch, and Texas waterfowl historian Rob Sawyer, paint a colorful picture that some may remember, but that is forever gone. In this episode: What made the Katy Prairie so uniquely attractive to snow geese? What was it to live and work in the spectacle? What was it like as a kid tagging along? The daily routine, colorful characters, how decoys and calls evolved, Texas snow goose hunting culture and respect, heyday picking houses, conservation order limits, shifting client expectations and behavior, snow goose hunting quality decline, and more.
