LATE SEASON GOOSE TACTICS WITH A SIDEBAR OF FLOODED CORN

Mario talks with a true goose killer, Missouri's own Byron Hahn about late season goose tactics. He specializes in shooting tons of honkers over water, whether it is frozen or open. They keep the generator and ice ripper companies in business with several going on different properties. Somehow all the talk about late season geese sends Mario and Byron down the rabbit hole of the whole flooded corn controversy and end up spiraling out of control. Hope you enjoy it.
