Solo Hunter Spring Snow Goose Hunt Packages
Enjoy a solo snow goose or snow goose/ pheasant combo hunt this spring! Snow goose hunting along the Mississippi and Illinois river flyways can be some of the most exciting and action-packed wingshooting available! There are no limits during the spring conservation snow goose season! You will hunt out of very comfortable heated, pit blinds. Our decoy spread consist of several thousand decoys along with several electronic callers to bring in the snow geese. The professional guides, dogs, gourmet homecooked meals, and accommodations are all included in the price of our snow goose hunts!
If you reserve a snow goose/ pheasant combo hunt, depending on our scheduling, you’ll either head to the snow goose blind or upland hunt in the morning. Come back to the lodge for a gourmet lunch, and head back out to the fields for your afternoon hunt. Our guided pheasant hunts are the best you will find. Even though all of our fields have both pheasants and quail, some areas hold mostly pheasants. Hunting pheasants behind our pointing dogs can be an exciting experience! We hunt along fence rows, food plots, and native prairie grasses. We manage our pheasant hunting fields to create a one-of-a-kind pheasant hunting experience!

Can I have more information on the solo upland/snow goose hunt?
I am crippled by stroke, but can walk with cane. I still deer hunt from my blinds, use SUV to get around on farm.
Thinking about a snow goose hunt for 2 days , a stop on way to Tennessee. Would be my girlfriend and I, we are both in our late 70s . I use to live on a lake in Iowa and hunted ducks and geese a lot. Can’t do it anymore, this would probably my last hunt so looking for a good one.
Girlfriend would not hunt.
Thanks
