Get ready for YEAR SIX of our unforgettable conservation snow goose adventure in South Dakota! After experiencing incredible hunts over the past few years, we couldn't resist booking another trip. During South Dakota's conservation season, it means NO PLUGS and NO LIMITS, giving us the thrilling chance to harvest an impressive number of birds. This is an experience you'll remember for a lifetime! Let's keep our fingers crossed for great weather and excellent hunting!

Each spring, millions of snow geese migrate back north in numbers that far exceed what their breeding grounds can support. The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service created the Spring Light Goose Conservation Order to help curb population growth and protect the fragile Arctic tundra these birds call home. By participating in this hunt, you’re not only chasing an epic bird hunting experience, you’re playing a direct role in one of the most unique conservation efforts in North America. You will arrive in the evening on Thursday March 26th, hunt full days Friday and Saturday and then depart Sunday morning!

WHAT TO EXPECT

• 3 Nights / 2 Full Days of Hunting

• All decoy spreads pre-set and ready to go on private land leases

• Massive full-body or sock decoy spreads—up to thousands of decoys

• Potential setups: panel blinds, layout blinds, or backboards

• Hunt from ½ hour before sunrise until mid-day break, then return until sunset

• Goal: Feet-down birds in your face, fast-paced, high-action hunting
