Snow Goose Conservation Order Struggles in Panhandle Hunt

Many snows have left the region, a full moon may aid migrations, and later pushes from the south could bring birds back in late February. Prospects remain fair at best with rising temperatures possibly creating fog and better late-season conditions near El Campo and Anahuac.
