Being mobile and scouting the right spots is the name of the game when it comes to being a successfull Wyoming & Nebraska snow goose guide and thats exactly what we do. We start in Wyoming Feb 21st then as the migration of snow geese continues we move into the Nebraska Panhandle and stay out in front of the migration. Join Grey Reef Wingshooting in Wyoming, and Nebraska as we move with the spring migration of snow geese. We hunt over huge snow goose decoy spreads in heated pit blinds and layout blinds. Guiding snow goose hunters requires scouting everyday and I will move at a moment's notice if needed to put you in the best spot for success. We have secured private lease properties in the flyway that include corn fields, marsh areas and various grain fields including millet, winter wheat, and wheat stubble. Liberal limits, electric calls, and lots of fun are just a few reasons why every waterfowl hunter should experience this great spring diversion. For the 2012 Spring Snow Goose season I will be set up in Wyoming starting March 1st through March 18th and then move into the Nebraska Panhandle as the birds move north. Join in the fun and excitement on your first 2012 spring snow goose hunt! New for 2012 I will be doing a limited number of Spring Snow Goose Hunts in late March in South Dakota as well. Call for Details.

DECOY HUNTING VS. GROUND N POUND - KNOW BEFORE YOU GO

At Grey Reef Wingshooting we feel it's our duty to help educate potential customers on the difference between a snow goose hunt over decoys versus jump shooting aka ground n pound. First let me set one thing straight we are not a ground n pound guide service, we are skilled in the craft of decoying and tricking snow geese into gun range OVER decoys! BUYER BEWARE many of the outfitter photos you see online with piles of hundreds of snow geese are hunts NOT performed over decoys. Most of these blood bath photos are of a group of guys who drive around all day and just sneek up on a grind of birds in a field or pond and empty their guns into the wad of snow geese before they even take off. This is what we call "ditch piggin" or "ground n pound" crews, this leads to massive numbers of crippled birds and is unethical in our opinion. FACT snow geese are some of the smartest birds you will ever hunt over decoys and thats why we love the challenge and enjoy the aspects that decoying snow geese brings. There is nothing more rewarding we feel after having from 5 up to 500 snow geese come swirling down onto the decoy spread and be fooled into gun range, the anticipation is awesome! So the next time your booking a hunt ask the outfitter what type of hunt he offers, so you know before you go.

Southeastern Wyoming: On our Wyoming snow goose hunts we are hunting "staged" snow geese in Wyoming, this hunt mimics honker hunting. These snow geese are coming off refuges in the morning and hitting the fields for food. We have decoy spreads in the fields and under their flight paths coming off these roosts. Although we don't have the numbers of snow geese Nebraska has, during the peak time here in Wyoming you can expect to have 70 to 80thousand snow geese working the valley and using various fields and roosts. This combined with fairly light hunting pressure leads to some great hunts.
Most of our Wyoming Spring Snow Goose Hunts are done out of heated wood pit blinds, occasionally we will hunt out of layout blinds when necessary.

Nebraska Panhandle: On the Nebraska snow goose hunt you will be hunting "migrators" and "staged" snow geese. These migrating snow geese are birds coming through the state of Nebraska and may have been 200 miles south in Kansas or Colorado that morning and we intercept them on there way north. During the peak of the Nebraska spring migration you could see upwards of 100 thousand snow geese in a single day or more. The Nebraska snow goose hunting can be outstanding but as their are more birds there are also more hunters hunting the snow geese and they tend to be more educated. We scout out fields and bird locations everyday and move our set up if needed to put you in the best spots for success.

Gear to bring on your Snow Goose Hunt

I would suggest these as a base:

Thermals top and bottom (polypropylene) Under Armour
Pants be it blue jeans or car-harts, etc..
A heavy weight sweatshirt that has a hood
Insulated bibs (camo) over your pants
Waterfowl Parka (waterproof) over your sweatshirt
One cotton sock under, one pair wool socks over,
Boots - BRING RUBBER FIELD BOOTS - really a necessity when its wet and muddy
Warm gloves
Knit Hat (beanie)
Sunglasses
So that's my base set up for clothing, then here are a couple optional things to bring in case we experience some extreme cold.
SUN GLASSES are a must, shot shells-3''#2's or 3.5"#2's or bigger (two boxes per hunt day)
