Snow Goose Hunting Reports

Feb 10, 2026

Big day today… and a late one. Our high field stacked up 98 snows, and the low field ended with 12, giving us a 49.5‑bird average overall. Some fields shot straight juvies, others were closer to a half‑juvy, half‑adult mix. Hard to miss the migration today — a ton of birds pushed north, way more … [Read More]

  One group hunted in the cold today until they couldn’t take it anymore. They managed to shoot three geese before calling it quits. Although temperatures were still in the 20s this afternoon, the weather felt much nicer. The sun was out and had enough strength to melt most of the snow. It’s a welcome … [Read More]

On the bright side, we didn’t get as much snow as expected. On the downside, it’s really cold. Two groups hunted for a couple of hours each today—one in the morning and one in the afternoon. They managed to shoot 3 and 1, respectively. Tomorrow, we have one group heading out, and we’ll see how … [Read More]

  The better hunting of yesterday was short-lived, as a snow goose hunting guide, I understand that warmer weather provides better conditions for the hunters and often better decoying birds. Most hunters scheduled for this week have opted to move their guided snow goose hunts to next week, where we still have availability, and the … [Read More]

  February 15: Only one group hunted for a couple of hours due to a big rainstorm that dropped over 3 inches of rain. We’re thankful we moved our spreads earlier in the season to avoid the mud—it would have been like a lake now. The group consisted of a father and his young son … [Read More]

Today’s hunting was quite similar to yesterday’s. When the sun was out, the birds worked well. However, it was tough to get them to decoy when it was cloudy. We saw migrators from both directions—a few from the south but more from the north heading south. Our high field shot 13, while the low field … [Read More]

Today, there was a strong north wind. The high field shot 35 and the low field shot 0. Once the sun came out, the snows had a totally different outlook on the decoy spread, at least in my field. They wanted to work! We saw a few birds from the south, but most of them … [Read More]

Same weather, similar results. Today was almost a carbon copy of yesterday. The high was 14, and the low was 0. It was a dark, overcast day with rain. Some fields saw more rain than others. My guys opted to sit in the trailer for a couple of hours, letting the rain pass. Then we … [Read More]

Rough day. It rained, and a couple of fields poured. It’s also pretty cold for AR standards. There are birds, a lot of them near a few of our fields, but we need a change in the weather to get them moving north again. They are leaving the roost, going to a field, and sitting. … [Read More]

Today, we experienced a northeast wind. While we’ve had plenty of wind this year, there hasn’t been much sunshine. Tomorrow, we’re expecting more rain. The highest number of birds taken in our fields today was 44, but all but one field recorded double digits. That one field only had 2 birds, and they reported seeing … [Read More]
