Spring Snow Goose Hunts (mid-March thru mid-April)
 
 

 
 

Our Prairie Hills Ranch is located at the heart of the Central Flyway and during the peak of the spring migration; we see several hundred snows a day. The sight is truly amazing! For those new to the experience, the approach of your first flock is unforgettable. Even if you've hunted spring snows many times, you never outgrow the adrenaline rush as the first birds in a high flying flock begin to spiral down toward your blind.

Once again this year, renowned snow goose guide, Jake Liebke will be at the Ranch to help you ambush these flocks. A long time water fowler, Jake has consistently guided successful hunts from Texas to Minnesota. You'll find him to be not only a great student of snow goose behavior, but a wonderful teacher as well.

Our hunts utilize up to 2,000 decoys, layout blinds, top-of-the-line electronic callers and Jake's latest innovations for decoying wary snows. You'll have access to 800 acres of local corn stalk. These are fair hunts for wild migrating birds. Some hunting days are more productive than others. We can not guarantee birds, but last years’ hunt netted 23 birds/field/day.

We also provide duck and early Canadian geese hunts. Please see our pricing page or just call us.
