Snow Goose Hunting Strategy

Snow-Goose-In-Flight1.png
By the time we hunt snow geese in Arkansas, Missouri, and South Dakota these geese have flown up from Texas and the Gulf Coast and they're looking to get north to the tundra breeding grounds. The only thing holding them back is weather and fatigue. The job of our snow goose guides is to figure out the line where weather and fatigue are enough to cause the flocks of snow geese to locate a feeding field and land for the day. Each day one of our snow goose hunting guides spends their morning in the truck scouting for fields to use the following day(s). Many snow goose hunting guides make the mistake of staying right where the snow geese fell yesterday. While that field may work for a day or two, chances are better that the flocks will find a fresh field or move further north.  We scout everyday to make sure your guided snow goose hunt is a success!

***Groups of six or more people will secure their own field to hunt. Smaller groups will be combined with others.
***A 50%, non-refundable, deposit per hunter is due at booking.  Lodging not included in Missouri or South Dakota, license and ammo not included. Prices are subject to change without notice prior to booking.  All booked hunts can be rescheduled if needed within season dates of booking.
***Guiding waterfowl hunts on any state owned land, conservation area or waterfowl production area is againts the law in Arkansas, Missouri, South Dakota and Minnesota. We at Goose and Duck Smackers follow the law. 


What we Provide

  • We always hunt on pre screened private grounds.
  • SilloSock or Dakota Decoy spreads to hunt over.
  • Beavertail Gunner blinds for every hunter
  • Experienced snow goose guides
  • Small hunting parties 6 to 8 hunters per field.


What to Bring on your hunt

We recommend you bring the following along on your goose hunting trip:

  • License - You will need to comply with the State laws for the state we are hunting in.

  • Clothing - Bring a good mix of warm clothing! Goose hunting starts long before the sun comes up and it is often humid and cold in the hours before the sun warms the fields. Dress in layers so that you can take off gear as the morning warms up.

  • Firearm - We suggest an unplugged 12-guage that will handle 3 or 3.5 inch magnums.

  • Ammo - We recommend 12 guage 3" or 3.5" shells.  We recommend B shot to BBB shot to get the job done. Load plenty of non-toxic heavy shot if you can afford those options. Heavy shot is a deadly load in 3" mag 2 shot. Above all, remember to bring plenty of ammunition!

  • Food and Drink - Bring plenty of snacks and something to drink while out in the field. A morning of hunting can seem like a lifetime if you don't have something cool to wet to drink before lunch break. Better yet, bring a nice, big thermos of coffee for your guides. That being said, don't even think about alcohol. Safety is our top priority and there's no place for hunters under the influence.

  • Camera - Drop your good camera into a Ziploc bag and bring it along. There's no better way to preserve your memories than in a few photos at the end of a day.

What Else I need to know

  • ALL YOUTH HUNTERS MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY AN ADULT.
  • A minimum of 6 hunters is needed to have your own guide/field.
  • Dogs allowed only if you have your own field.
  • Groups of less than 6 will be combined with other small groups.
