I don't hunt Snow geese that often, however, after watching about 6 flocks fly over northeast Iowa I got the itch. Booked a hunt in southern South Dakota with a guide. I'm not really a waterfowl hunter, however, I do enjoy seeing those huge flocks of snow geese. Being a single I called and asked a guide if he could fit one person in.... Yep. I looked for a nicer day and booked for a 2 day hunt. Because it's been so cold and snowy in South Dakota the geese are about 4 weeks behind in the migration. Hunted Wednesday, near water, and he put me with 7 of his guides. The season is coming to an end and they have a "guide fun hunt". The guides were the greatest and we had a blast. 60 geese shot the first day. Thursday, we hunted a spread in a cornfield. It was slower and 4 of us shot 16. The neatest part was to see a "migrating flock" come down from way up in the sky.... circle a few times.... have a few juvies break off and then get some shots off. Really cool. I may have to do this more often. They let me take 40 birds home
Note: I have upland bird dogs that hunt pheasants... not waterfowl. This one guide had this Black Lab and he was incredible with blind retrieves. It was so fun to watch a great dog work
good luck to all
