Geese are big suckers and nasty to pluck. Usually we don't shoot them and most of the places we hunt have more ducks than geese -- at least within range. But some of them can be pretty tasty and it is always a satisfying splash when one hits the water. Hence, it's still essential to be able to tell what's flying by. Additionally, at some of the refuges you can shoot both snows and specks and others you can only shoot snows.
Don't shoot the wrong one at the wrong place.
