Immense flocks of wild geese near Alton causing damage
Immense flocks of wild geese, some unusually large, have lingered in Missouri point corn and are said to damage growing wheat. They feed in corn fields when ice covers shocks, roost on Missouri river sandbars, and attract hunters braving ice and current. Newton Keene shot a 12 pound goose with a 6 foot wingspan. Game wardens monitor to keep out-of-state hunters from Missouri soil. The birds frequent American bottoms east of Alton, and old timers note unprecedented numbers.
