This will be our 11th season of spring snow goose hunting.  A lot has changed and we have adapted! 

We offer any type of spring hunt that you would prefer.  We hunt in various locations with all types of equipment that have proven to be effective to decoy snow geese.  We have a total of eight decoy spreads that we constantly move (if needed)and hunt on a daily basis. We have eliminated any equipment that we feel is not effective and a waste of valueable time.  We know that our time concealing and fixing the decoy spread is much more important. Some days all the sets are full of hunters and some days only a few will be full.  Either way we have plenty full time guides and full time spotters and decoy setters.  This ensures plenty of help if there is a solid snow line and birds stop moving north. The birds start feeding habits in the area and we will be able to target them better and move on them where they feed.  These fields will be set at night or midday.

 When there isn't a snow line we keep our decoys set in the prime migratory funnels that the birds use each year.  These are only learned by hunting these fields for the last ten years.  This is when you really benifit from experienced guides. In the spring you will not always benifit from hunting scouted feeder birds as those birds can feed in a field in the morning in Missouri and feed in another field in South Dakota that afternoon. Some fields will be set the day we get there and can shoot great averages for the entire two or three week time frame.  If they dry up and stop killing birds we simply move them into another funnel or "Killing Field" as we call them.  These are fields that may not ever had a bird feeding in but we know year after year when we put our decoys in it we slaughter them!

 Chasing an "X" field can sometimes be like chasing your tail.  In the spring birds feed a lot different than in the fall.  The biggest shoots on snow geese will happen from a pushback of geese from the north or migratory birds from the south on sunny south wind days.  These days will always outshoot hunting feeder birds in an "X" field.  On these days make sure you are in the field hunting with a lot of shells and not moving decoys or chasing feeder birds.  In either scenario we will work hard to put you in funnels or feeder fields.

 When you arrive we will give you our game plan as it pertains to the bird patterns and activity in the area.  Top Gun wants our customers to have the most enjoyable hunt possible while hunting snows.  Weather and snow geese combined can be one of the most predictable and unpredicable hunt you will ever experience.  Unpredictable always doesn't refer to bad hunting as it can be some of the greatest waterfowl hunting you will ever see on an day to day or even hour to hour basis .  I personally am proud to have watched these birds migrate each spring as it is the greatest migration of birds on earth!!  

 Where: 

We start spring snow goose hunting in Mound City, Missouri or Kansas on Febuary 15th and hunt until March 20th depending on the weather and the snow goose migration. We travel with the snow geese, moving into central Nebraska, arriving in South Dakota around March 20th. We hunt North Dakota from April 10th to May 6th.  We finish the spring snow goose hunting season in Saskatchewan from April 20th to May 6th.  We have land leases in all these areas as we hunt in these areas in the spring and fall. We have been finding these areas and following bird patterns for years that gives a head start on the competion new to these locations.

Equipment and Group Numbers:

Each snow goose hunt consists of hunting behind 1800 snow goose decoys (Deadly Decoys), electronic callers, we try hunt 6 to 8 hunters max per field depending on how the group numbers calculate. We hunt out HS Hitman blinds(with snow covers in case of snow) We will work with each group to make the hunt work. Dogs are allowed only in an exclusive groups.(6 to 8) We do not allow them in mixed parties.
