Snow Goose Hunting Reports

You know it is cold when a wood duck is at your front door. It snowed about 4 inches I would guess. It is hard to tell since there was so much drifting. We had a few feathered visitors. Curt’s truck jelled up so while trying to shovel snow so we could get his truck … [Read More]

Howling north wind and 12-degree temp made for a brutal morning hunt. The longest group lasted until 10:30 am. This is Iowa cold! I don’t remember it being this cold in AR since we have hunted here. Many of you have talked with my Valentine Denise. She said it is the 9th day in a … [Read More]

  Watch this video on YouTube Everybody got birds today but these guys had a really nice day by this year’s standards. It was a cold one, but they braved it well.  The forecast this coming week shows snow Mon, Wed, & Thu. Each day 1-3 inches. On the bright side Sat & Sun Feb … [Read More]

Some of you are starting to put the cart in front of the horse. You need to take a deep breath. The weather is going to play out how it plays out. There is nothing neither you nor I can do about it.  Just to recap I gave those hunting this weekend 3 options. Hunt … [Read More]

Watch this video on YouTube Yesterday morning my farthest east fields turned around because of icy roads. There were vehicles going in the ditch everywhere. It was just not safe to continue. The rain and sleet continued through the night and only one group decided to brave the ice and cold this morning.  I drove … [Read More]

There were a lot of birds that came from the north today. In them are some birds that like to decoy. It wasn’t anything crazy but it was way better than watching birds fly on by not even breaking a wing beat.  High field shot 39, they saw a ton of geese. About 11 am … [Read More]

There were definitely birds coming from the north today. Some of the flocks are starting to work, nothing huge yet but they are giving us a way better look than last week. Tomorrow we are going to reset a field we pulled on Saturday to a new area. The day after the youth duck hunt … [Read More]

We are back in the field today following the youth duck hunt on Saturday. Friday we had a couple of fields in the average range. It was the first day we saw migrating snow geese break up and work the spreads. That was a welcome sight. The extended forecast looks cold, how cold depends on … [Read More]

It rained most of the day, some fields harder than others. A little improvement from yesterday but that bar was not too high. Hunting remains slower than average.   

Today was a really slow day. There was a ton of birds that came from the north over some of our fields…tons…but they didn’t want to play in the morning. It was once again cloudy in the morning but cleared off in the afternoon. There wasn’t much of an afternoon flight. Slow days happen, it … [Read More]

A lot of birds came from the north today. Cold with a northwest wind, not what we typically see this time of year, but we play the card mother nature deals us. High field shot 20, and low was a 0. Every dog has its day, and today was not ours. There are a lot … [Read More]

We are in the house, the fields are set, & anticipation is high. When we hopped into the trucks to go set the last spread it was 52 degrees at 7 am. All-day the temps dropped and the wind switched from the south to the north. It is almost 9 pm and snow geese are … [Read More]

Today we are just in a holding pattern. We were supposed to get another good shot of rain. It looked like we might miss this one as it only drizzled most of the day, but now it is coming down pretty good. Today we worked on odds and ends but until we get to move … [Read More]

Everything is done that we can do right now. All but one field is set, it would be but when we got to the field there is 30 dozen speck and snow full-bodies in the field. I text the farmer who is on vacation in FL and he said nobody was supposed to be in … [Read More]

Lining up the flyers… The guys saw some birds today but not as many as yesterday. Yesterday they saw a bunch of snow geese both going north and south. Today it rained and snowed. I’m at home yet, but from the weather forecast, it looked like most of MO got a little snow out of … [Read More]

              Poking decoys in the ground…hopefully, there will be lots of squawking snow goose at 20 yards on Monday. If you want to book yet this year… …Arkansas during the week has room but the weekends are almost full. Iowa we have room the first weekend and the last weekend, … [Read More]

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 … [Read More]

When these two guys show up it is a sure sign snow goose season is about to begin. They have been busy packing trailers and getting gear ready.

We raised the white snow goose flag to the 2020 snow goose season. Both Saturday and Sunday were slow; the rosey 10-day forecast turned to snow Saturday morning. Thankfully we didn’t get the 3-6 inches they predicted Friday. It is always a crapshoot hunting snow geese in the snow. We have had good hunts in … [Read More]

We only have two groups hunting this weekend; the rest of us pulled decoys all day. One field shot 32 the other shot 4. Tomorrow it is going to snow up to 5 inches. We will see how the affects the hunting. I’m not sure how far north the snow is going to be. Hopefully, … [Read More]
