Flying over, yes, but it got to be quite a pain bringing out bags of socks and then seeing nothing!
I last had some good success when I was invited onto a farm a couple years back. If you have a field scouted out - good on you. I found snowies will come down with motion - use a flag - and with big blobs of them but given my experience I can't claim any expertise.
Young ones will come down to anything including people walking around. I got my share shooting greys just as I was packing up or setting up. They came down to humans walking around in the open. It was crazy.
And I love eating them though!
Where are you going?
