Field Conditions – Bring Waders – Just in case.

Although the fields are not currently muddy once the 6 inches of snow melts plus some rain tonight might make things a little messy in the snow goose spreads.

Tougher Snow Goose Hunting

Since the snow fall the hunting has been tougher than it had been. Today’s temps should almost take care of most of the snow. Friday high field was 64 closely followed by a 59. On the other side of the coin we also had several in the single digits and our first zero of the […]

Screwed Up Morning

The snow stopped shortly after my last post. Still any snow is way more than I would have liked. Some of the groups went out on time while others met later.

Unexpected Bad Weather

The snow storm that was suppose to give us 1-3 inches of snow has turned into a blizzard. Due to this we will likely be hunting later in the morning if not noon. I just came from town and the roads are drifting. We have heard reports of up to 8 inches or more snow […]

One More Day

Yesterday was another great day in the field. Tryg shot another 50 snow geese. The 4 day group has shot 70, 24, and 50. Wish we would I could have gotten more hunters for these early dates. We would have piled them up this year. The Squaw Creek National Wildlife Refuge is stacked with snow […]

First Guided Snow Goose Hunt 2/21/2011

The 2011 season is 21 days old and snow goose hunting has been stellar. I’m getting reports of superior hunting from hard core snow goose killers. One in particular told me in 2010 that these were the toughest birds he had seen and they were. Today he told me he has never seen a year with such […]

First Day…

  There was a big snow goose migration today. Today was also our first full day in the field with hunters. They shot 70 snow geese. Just goes to show that you can’t out guess the migration. Early can be very good! I have always said Feb 20-March 20 is the best window for NW […]

Birds Continue to Move Up

I’m back in Mound City. There are a number of snow geese in the area with migrating flocks of snow geese moving up throughout the day. I stepped outside at about 10 pm last night and snow geese were flying over. The refuge still has a bunch of ice on it but the snow goose […]

Snow Goose Hunts – First Day In The Field

Jim, Billy, and Adam hunted today but not as early as planned. They pulled the ice eater from the pond and on the way back a tie rod on Billy’s truck broke. I don’t think they hit the field until about 10:30. They ended up shooting average day of 20 snows. Not bad. There is […]

Early 2011 Spring Snow Goose Hunting Outlook

It is still early into the spring snow goose season but all the report I have been getting from the good snow goose hunters paints a much brighter picture than the reports I had gotten about their 2010 snow goose hunts. The birds are working much better and there are already a fairly good number […]

Forecast looks promising

I really don’t like to put too much weight in these long term forecasts because they seem to change wildly but with all of the weather we have been having in the Midwest I’m starting to get some calls from guys. I’m especially interested in the Feb 12-17 when the temps are going to be […]

Better Decoying Snow Geese

The last couple days I have talked with several outfitters that are running hunts down south. All of them are saying the birds are working much better this year. The weather is not great right now. I have reports that Mound City got 13″ of snow with this last blast. We are already working on […]

Feb 1…Spring Snow Goose Season Opens in Missouri

Today the spring snow goose season opens in Missouri to a whopper of a snow storm. About the only part of the state not getting hit is SE MO. Hopefully this is not a sign of things to come. If it is we already have alternate plans in place. I have told the guide that […]

I made a quick turn and burn trip to AR this weekend with gear. I'm back home for a few days. Curt, Jim, and Truman also rolled into Arkansas. Today Gerald, Drew, and Brock arrived... It looks like we have the decoy setting crew ready to start poking decoys in the ground.Field conditions were dry...really dry, actually. Today they got a real good shot of rain that filled the ditches. We want some water, without if we don't get many staged birds. Five or six years ago, it was bone dry, and we never had many geese staged in the area. We just shot migrators that year.Speaking of bird numbers, there are fewer than I have seen in a few years. It might have something to do with the dry conditions. Snows like to sit in the rice field sheet water, if that is the case today changed that situation. Curt and I sat at one of our fields for about an hour Sunday morning. Jim and Truman were at another. Both of us saw snow geese. There were 4 flocks of 75-100 birds that flew over our field. I'm sure we would have seen more if we sat in the field all day. ... See MoreSee Less
