One of the best times to enjoy a pheasant hunt at the lodge is in March when the temperatures are comfortable for hunters and the dogs alike. We specifically plant late season food plots and create habitat structure that’s designed to hold birds during this time of the season. One of the biggest benefits of upland hunting during this time of year is the cover is confined to certain areas of the farms, that helps to congregate the birds.
Spring Break Snow Goose/ Upland Combo Hunt
Heartland Lodge offers an upland/ snow goose combo hunt from Mid-February to Mid-March! This hunting package is a great way to experience a variety of wingshooting, all in the same day! There are NO LIMITS, NO PLUGS, massive decoy spreads, comfortable blinds, hot breakfast and professional guides. You will enjoy hunting over thousands of decoys in the Mississippi Flyway.
The best time to hunt snow geese is typically Mid-February through March 25th. While weather is always a factor, when the geese are here, the wingshooting action can be phenomenal! This can be one of the most exciting hunts you will ever experience! 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.
