Fall Hunts: September 30-December Spring Snow Goose: April 1-May 6 Hunts: We hunt waterfowl in the mornings and afternoons. Fall field hunts for Snows/Blues, Canadas/Specklebellies, and Ducks are from layout blinds and are usually one guide per 4-5 clients. Puddle duck hunts for Ducks and Geese are in the large potholes and smaller lakes. Spring goose hunts are from blinds and location will vary due to the migration. We will arrange a variety of hunts to suit the interests of your group, and generally do not mix parties unless you have less than 4 hunters. Please keep in mind that some hunts are dependent upon calm weather for safety reasons.
A note on Spring Hunting: Spring hunts are no limits, electronic callers, unplugged guns, extended tubes, and hunting over 1500-2000 decoy spreads. In other words: A Blast! GAME: North Dakota is legendary for the Best Goose and Duck Hunting in the Lower 48 ! We shoot Canada Geese and Specklebelly Geese plus lots of Snow Geese. We shoot mixed limits of ducks including Mallard, Pintail, Teal, Widgeon, Bluebill, Redhead, Canvasbacks, ...just about every duck that travels the Central and Mississippi Flyways! All birds shot will be processed and you can take them home (up to your state's possession limit), or donate them. We don't believe in wasting game.
