Talked to a few outfitters and this guy sounded the best and he is in a great area for them also had a youth discount which is nice.. I am so pumped to go on this snow goose hunt.. I wanted to do this for ever and never had the oppertunity and no one to go with so now me and my son and 2 friends of ours are going.. I am so excited for this Im counting the days..

When are you going? Hopefully much later!

You're gonna love it.

Conservation season I'm guessing? Hope you guys hammer them!

I was looking into driving down there to chase them this year. I have the tools, just not familiar with the area and public land. Snows blew through us last year in 4 days. Never got a chance to get on them.

Its in Pa on Feb 26th thats what he had open for me and my son.. Its with James Creek Outfitters.. Im excited I hope we get a few I want this to be a great experence for me and my son.. He leases alot of the land around that middlecreek refuge I think thats what he said so I hear thats a hot spot for them.. Hope it goes well..

We hunted with them a couple days last year and had a great time. Enjoy.

Watch out, that snow goose hunting is addicting.

You picked a good time, I think!

Excellent Joe, As dedicated as you seem to be already, you will be out scouting all season and Im sure you guys will find some birds to kill this year!

You're sick joe. Sick sick sick!

Is it I have no idea.. I know theres a conservation season but the guy said this is as close to the peak as you can get..hope so..I am hooked 100% and I am months away from going.. Sent my check out so I have the date locked in..Wish I had friends who were into it as much as me.. Everyone I ask has now backed out and said they cant so we will be with another group but thats fine I just wanna grab the first one I shoot so I can get it mounted..and hope my son gets one as well I watched the guys videos on you tube and looks like a decent place to go..hey for $150.00 you cant go wrong I spent $5000.00 on elk hunt and came home with nothing so hope to just see some hope to get some on the ground but most of all have a great time spending time in a goose blind with my son..I would of killed to do that with my dad.. I just hope he has fun..

If he offers to do a sneak, take him up on it. You'll never have so much fun as creeping up on 5,000 snows and jumping them, blasting away. The time should be good- generally the later the better, at least down here.

also a good way to over limit. Allegedly (mind if I use this?)

x100 on the sneak. Did one in Mississippi and got five in two shots. First shot was a misfire.



I'm still kicking myself in the ass for not getting that blue mounted.

whats a good roundn 3" 12 I was told BB for snows threw a MOD choke.. Is this a good combo ??

I was shooting 3.5" 12g BB last winter for snows. But that's me. Shoot what you are comfortable with.

Just my 2 cents.

And I was shooting an IC choke. But I would shoot a mod. Didn't have the rest of my chokes with me so I shot what I had.

Whatchoo talkin bout Willis? No limits during conservation season.

I've had my mod choke stuck in my gun for about 11 years. It's what I hunt with.

Snow goose hunting can be very frustrating at times and then it can be very rewarding also....

It was just me shooting. Could have had more if the first shot had gone off.

I think it was more me coming over the top of the ditch that spooked them.

That sucks. Ours is 25/day regular season no possession limit,and no bag limit or possession limit during conservation season, plugs not required.
