Snow Goose Hunting Reports

Today was pretty slow, the high field shot 25 but the low field was 0 and we had two 1’s. Not a great day in the snow goose fields, but they happen. Persistence pay off, our guide Curt had one group left at about 10:30. At that time they had 1 goose. I guess they … [Read More]

The days started in the upper 30’s. It rained, heavy at times with some snow mixed in between the raindrops. It was windy and cold this morning. In the afternoon the sun came out. Most of the fields had action early then didn’t see much the rest of the day.   I put on some … [Read More]

Today was a cold start, with lots of wind. It was one of the few days we have had sun and wind. We did average today, the high field shot 31, while the low field shot 5 for a 16 bird average. Teen’s and twenties are average hunts. I’m busy laying the groundwork for our … [Read More]

This morning started warm and humid, then a cold front pushed through. Temps dropped throughout the day. Midday it rained pretty hard. Only one group hunted all day, most of the rest quit when it was down pouring.  It is incredible how fast this year is going. Sunday, we pull up stakes and head for SW … [Read More]

Today was mostly overcast, but at least we had wind. The high field had a great hunt, 43 snows. The low field shot 0. There was a definite push this morning. But it was pretty short-lived.  

There was a pretty good number of birds that moved north today. The forecast and the actual weather & wind didn’t line up. We had some sun but there wasn’t much for wind. Birds would hang up tall. High field shot 25 and the low field shot 4. Several of the groups left around noon … [Read More]

This morning was cold, with no wind. Depending on what field you hunted, you may or may not have had wind. The field I shot had wind from about 8:30-11:00. So had no wind all day, others didn’t have wind until the afternoon. Same with the birds, all saw plenty, others didn’t see too many.  … [Read More]

It was cold for Arkansas today. We did have a lot of birds in the area. Not anymore, have wings will travel. This morning it was 21 degrees. All the birds the guides saw were from the north heading south. One did really well, it was the high field of 37. The rest of the … [Read More]

Today started cloudy, about noonish, the sun came out, and the birds stopped flying. We are in a bit of a lull. Today was a slow day for us. High field shot 13, and we had two field shoot 0’s. We need a change in the weather, there are a bunch of birds around, but … [Read More]

Since it rained today, only 1 group hunted until 9:30, and then they quit too. There are a bunch of birds in the area; we might even get more given the cold that is rolling in the north of us. However, I would just as soon it turn warm, sunny, and they start pushing north. … [Read More]

Today was colder, some times drizzled. There is a boatload of birds in the area but it’s time to get some warmer weather and move them north. The high field today shot 16, the low field shot 2. Today was pretty similar to yesterday.  Tomorrow we are supposed to have a bunch of rain. A … [Read More]

How many girls you know want to go on their senior trip to Arkansas and hunt snow geese? This one did, and here she is with her first goose, she smoked it, CONGRATS!!!  Hunting today was a little on the slower side. It rained this morning, the wind switched to the north, and the temps … [Read More]

Today was a fair day, birds rolled out of the south but few were too willing to stop. The high field shot 26 with a band. The low field shot 4. Unfortunately, most of the hunters were one-day hunters so they don’t have another day to make up if they were one of the lower … [Read More]

Today is the youth duck hunt. We have the day off but will back in the fields with a vengeance tomorrow. So far this year, the hunting has been like a pretty average snow goose season. An average season is good hunting. In the first seven days of the season, we have an overall average … [Read More]

Today I drove back home via SW Iowa. I checked out all of our fields. Most are a nice staked cornfield. It will be easy to hide in them. On the way up I did a quick stop in Mound City, MO. There are some snow geese on Squaw Creek. It didn’t look like too … [Read More]

Today was a solid day. There were tons of high flocks of snow geese heading south. There was also a bunch of geese coming out of the south heading north. Everybody saw plenty of birds. The weather today was cold, rainy, with snow flurries. The high field was 32; the bottom two fields shot 4. … [Read More]

Today it rained, as usual, the hunters don’t stay in the field all day. One group got a little creative with their rain gear. Days like this, the birds tend to hit a field and sit all day, waterfowl liking water, go figure. We did have some success, high field shot 22 and the low … [Read More]

Today was excellent. This year is entirely different than in 2019. Those of you that were disappointed last spring, well we all were. There is no need to let one of the worst years in my 20-year snow goose guide career define how you judge snow goose hunting. Last year the first five days of … [Read More]
