Snow geese, blue geese, and Ross’s geese are a common trio that often overwhelms various tracts during our early and mid-season. Our guides are keyed into their fickle flight patterns, and ready to take full advantage when flights of over 15,000 begin to leapfrog from field to field. It’s rare to have a season without periods of exceptional snow goose hunting, which is something you won’t want to miss.
