Spring Snows #1

Our spring snow goose season has finally come to an end and what a season it was!  I can't remember a snow goose season that was as good as this one turned out to be.  We would like to thank all the hunters that came and helped us make this the best snow goose season we've ever had.  This season was alot different than most with the temps being well above average and the geese cruising north faster than we've ever witnessed before.  The key for us was to move to South Dakota when we did and that helped us keep our guys on the birds. 

Mike, Bryce and myself have a ton of pictures from this spring.  I'll start posting some of my favorites from this past spring and will add theirs when I get them. Keep checking back because there should be 2 or 3 more posts in the next week with more pictures!



My daughter Aubrey gave me this sticker to put on my e-caller box for good luck!  As a proud Irishman I believe it brought me and my guys good hunting this spring!!!  The saying couldn't fit the e-caller any better because the fun does start when we turn on the snow goose sounds.


One of many big flocks working in tight!  This is one of my favorite pics of this spring.


Nothing beats a sunrise during the snow goose season.


A great morning shoot for 3 guys!


Bob and "Decoy" enjoying another great day this spring!


43 bird afternoon shoot


Next 2 pics are from the same day.  Morning harvest was 63.  After lunch the boys went back out and shot 47 to make it a 110 bird day!

Latest From Missouri

Finally a Blog update from us!  We apologize for not getting updates out better but our computers don't have good service down here. 

This spring snow season is turning out to be one for the record books!  The birds are working down like we've never seen before in all our years of hunting them.  The adults are usually tough to hunt but this year the juvies are leading them right down to the boot bags! 

I'll try to update again in the future but with all the hunting we're doing and the lack of cell service its tough to do.  When we leave Missouri to head to South Dakota we'll try to update it again with all our pics from this season!  If you want to see more updates check us out on Facebook.

Snow Goose Updates

As of February 7th there are around 750,000 geese on Squaw Creek.  Most of those birds have been there all fall/winter but with the nice weather the geese are starting to push up onto the refuge.  We still have some excellent days open in February.  The last 4 years or so many people are booking the beginning to middle of March which are great days but many people forget how great the days in late February can be.  If you haven't booked yet hurry and do so quickly.  The goose hunting is getting better and better every day!

*South Dakota Hunters*

As many of you have heard, the daily limit has been changed from 20/day to unlimited like our Missouri hunters have.  This is a great rule change and we look forward to taking advantage of it!!!

It's Getting Closer!

With all this warm weather its starting to feel more and more like snow goose season.  We've been getting all our snow goose sets ready and our gear is packed and ready to go!  A couple more weeks and we'll be heading out.  I can't wait! 

We still have some weekday dates available and we just had a cancellation for the weekend of March 10th.  This is usually a great weekend to hunt so if you'd like to shoot a pile of geese give us a call.
