At Goosehog Outdoors, our spring snow goose hunts take place in in early March and continue through early April. These hunts take place in NE South Dakota.
The area that we hunt is very consistent at producing very high success rates. At certain times there will be hundreds of thousands of staging snow, blue and ross geese, as well as countless migrating flocks traveling through.
While birds are not guaranteed, we will do our part to get you on the best possible hunt. Big days due occur, and so do zero's. We suggest that if you are planning a hunt, to schedule as many days possible. The reason behind this is that the more time that you can be in the field, the better your chances for success.
We have been guiding snow goose hunters during the spring conservation order for the last seven years. This experience has led us to find different tactics to lure these birds into decoying range consistently.
This past 2010 season was very difficult. With very few juvenile birds, and the weather not cooperating, it was difficult to pattern the birds. During the last ten days of our season we did very well however. Our big day for the year was 62, but we also had several zero's, and several days in between that. Overall we ended the season with 385 birds. The 2010 season average was 9.6 birds per field per day, down from 2009 which was 36.6. Most years the average is 25 birds per day.
Our snow goose hunts are performed over large decoy spreads of Deadly Decoy windsocks. A typical spread will consist of 1200 or more decoys. We also use several flyers and three to five rotary machines.
When hunting with us each hunter will have there own HUnters Specialties Hitman layout blind that allow comfort and warmth while staying concealed and mobile. We use state-of-the-art electronic callers, which produce very clear realistic sounds to lure the geese in close.
We have references available, if you would like. Space is limited. Why hunt with the rest, when you can hunt the best.
