Guided Minnesota Goose Hunts

Minnesota Early Season - We offer hunts starting the first weekend in September for the early goose season in Minnesota. The limit for this season is a liberal 5 geese; we usually run small parties with 4-5 hunters but can usually handle groups of up to 8 hunters.

Rates - The rate for the early goose season is $125/hunter for the 1/2 day hunt. We will hunt the evenings if needed, but this is left to the discretion of the guide.

Regular Season Hunts - This season starts opening weekend of Duck season and runs usually through the end of November, the limit of this season is two Honkers and 4 Mallards. This is primarily a goose hunt, but many of our fields also have ducks using them also and these bonus birds can be taken if available.

Rates: The rate for the regular season is $80/hunter for a morning or evening hunt.

Late Season Hunts - This season starts after the regular duck season closes and the limits increase back up to 5 geese per day. Most of these hunts are still run out of layout blinds so you will need to dress warm since sometimes it is pretty cold out and snow is a welcomed condition. This season usually starts around the 1st of December and runs for a few weeks.

Rates: The rate for the late season hunts is $100/hunter per 1/2 day.

Late Season Rochester Hunts - This is a special ten-day season that runs in the Rochester area after the rest of the state has shut down. The limit is two geese and the hunts are usually done out of heated underground pits. We also will do layout hunts if we find a hot field and the conditions are not two cold. The dates for this season in 2007 will probably run for December 14th - December 23rd, but won't be known for sure until the DNR sets the seasons in August.

Rates: Rates for this season is $80/hunter for a 1/2 day hunt Monday - Thursday and $90/hunter for a 1/2 day hunt Friday - Sunday. We do work with another area guide service so that we can offer hunts 7 days a week even if we are not able to be available a particular day.

Spring Snow Geese - We also offer Missouri Spring Snow Goose Hunts for the Spring Conservation Order. This season typically will start in late February and run until we wrap up with South Dakota Spring Goose Hunts in late April. We averaged just over 70 birds per spread this spring with an average of 5 hunters per day. Don't get this confused with some outfitters that say they average 70 birds per day, what they are not telling you is they are running 3 spreads with 20 guys total. We only run one spread per day so you're guaranteed to always have the hot field. We also try to move as much as possible to keep you on the hot field, we are willing to work to put you on the birds and won't just set in the same field for the entire season. The spring hunts are done from layout blinds gunning over large spreads of Full Bodies, Windsocks, and floaters. We also use the best possible electronic goose calls available with a typical spread having 4-8 speakers running on MP3 players…..bring your earplugs because it is loud!!!! Our spring hunts are all day hunts unless our daily limit is reached. Limits are 20 birds per day in South Dakota and Missouri has no limit so we shoot till we run out of shells. This past season was amazing and ½ our hunts ended with over 100 birds taken. Hopefully we have another great hatch and we can repeat last year, this is not the norm. Since we do run all day and the days are usually 14 hours in the field we do take a two-hour break midday to run into the nearest town to grab a bite to eat and stretch our legs.

Rates: Rates for the spring season are $150/full day, discounts are offered for big groups.

Catered Hunts - Maybe you have access to all the right land but don't want to invest the thousands of dollars in equipment to pull off a good hunt. I will be offering hunts at your location, my trailer usually has 15-20 dozen decoys and 7-8 blinds in it. I will be at your disposal as the guide but will require you to secure all land access and do the scouting since I will be traveling in to offer these hunts. Pricing is dependant on location but will be very reasonable. Please contact me if you're interested.

Discounts - We do offer discounts for larger parties; please contact me and we can figure something out.

Deposits - 50% Deposits must be received within two weeks of making reservations OR one week prior to the day of the hunt, whichever is sooner.

Booking - To book a hunt please fill out the online form.
