Any other farmers having Geese problems?

We've done it in SE Colorado with snows and in SE Arkansas on Ross and Specks with flocks of 30-75K birds flying in the area only to have them hit fields 100 yards away. They don't really respond to calls and don't decoy very well either.
What is frustrating is the times when we've got into them, we'll kill 100+ with 3-4 guys, and you realize the futility.
Did you have HUGE decoy spreads out? That is an absolute must to snow goose hunt. Electronic calls, snow, and a huge decoy spread. Really crappy overcast weather helps too. We have killed literally thousands of them, but the conditions have to be right.
We have snows and every other kind. They seem to be inter-breeding, but my goodness. The population is out of control. Where is Game management when you need them. I think the elimination of lead shot and lack of hunter interest has something to do with it.
I have some family that lives near El Campo TX. That place literally crawls with snow geese and hunters. By far the best goose hunting that I have ever seen. Have hunted from there down to the coast in various places. Its been several years since I have gone down there.
