Welcome to Eaglehead Outdoors snow goose hunting guides of Missouri & South Dakota. Our goose hunting reports and field news are often updated daily during the season, CHECK BACK OFTEN!

Spring 2019:  The spring season will soon be upon us!  To stay up to date on the action check out our Facebook page for live videos and daily pictures from the fields!

Spring 2018:  This was the year to remember!!  With an outstanding hatch the precious summer the young birds were plentiful! We had record numbers harvested in both Arkansas and Missouri.  We ended the season north of 10,000 birds in the US and 3,500 in Saskatchewan. 

Spring 2016: This year has had its many ups and downs in the first two weeks.  Arkansas has had its high moments with a few days already reaching the 100 bird mark.  SE MO has been a battle so far.  we've had a few good days when the weather cooperated us, but on the other hand we've also had a few really slow days.  That's why they call it hunting.  The birds seem to be really spread out this year with the amount of water down in the south.  Also the lack of winter this year, many birds never made it to their usual wintering grounds.  we will be starting Mound City this week with the warm tepms in the forecast.  Check our Facebook page for day to day pictures and reports!

 

 

Spring 2015: The season has started off with the best hunting we have ever experienced. Arkansas has been unreal for us. Starting feb. 1 we will have 3 spreads running in SE MO and 1 still running in Ark. For frequent reports and pictures click the link on our homepage to our facebook page. We update daily with pictures and videos from the days hunts.

 

 Spring 2017 was one for the record books! Ended up harvesting 6,476 geese on the season! Check out our Facebook Page for up to date photos and Videos.  Along with any last minute openings.  We are now booking for Spring 2018!

 

Mar 5th: Were still digging out from winter storm titan it got nasty down here in SE MO. Prior to the storm we had been averaging close to 50 geese a day. We will be running two spreads down here through the weekend and 2 starting tomorrow in Mound City we are expecting a major push of geese into the area tomorrow and friday!

 

Feb 27th: We currently mave a big move back south due to no open water and a major storm/cold front to hit mound city this weekend.We had a few good days up there but with no open water the geese left as fast as they came, were south now and hoping on a reverse migration and some new birds from the south. We start hunting again today for more day to day reports click our facebook page link on our home page.

 

Feb 17: Sorry were behind on hunting reports too busy dodging ice stroms and moving in every direction but north. Started the season with a bang then had massive ice strom hit us down in SE MO. We ended up heading to central Ark. It was well worth it, we were "IM UM" we just pulled the pin down there and headed north last night to hunt back up here in SE MO for 2 days. Tomorrow night after pulling spreads were headed back to Mound City. There is massive migration in progress down here today and warm weather coming... they are going to push hard. For more day to day updates go to our home page and click the facebook link even if you're not on facebook you can watch our day to day progress.

Dec 24 2012: Matt and I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. A month from now we will be headed south to start the season

 

Dec 14 2012: Just got home from a scouting mission in SE MO. Already lots of birds down there and with the weather forcast looking like winter for once we're thinking we might get those birds all the way south unlike last year. We had a very succsessful trip locking up several potential fields for the beginning of Feb. We still have a few dates open for down there!!!!

 

Nov 11 2012: Just returned from a short snow goose hunting trip. All I can really say is WOW there is alot of juvies if that trip was any indication of how the spring might be, oil up your guns and bring extra shells!!! It was unreal how the birds worked and the sheer numbers of juvies. We experienced massive tornado after tornado all the way into the kill hole. Things are shaping up to be a great spring looks like winter is well on its way here and should get the birds as far south as they need to be to provide a long drawn out migration this spring. Now its time to get into some of these MN geese and ducks. Check back often for more reports.

 

August 29, 2012: Thanks to everyone that stopped by our booth at game fair it was a huge turnout. We donated free hunts to the youth calling contests this year for the winner and a parent. So congrats to Dale hunter who won the youth duck and goose calling contests.

March 20, 2012: When the birds started to leave the roosts this morning, it was apparent that the we had lost most of the small pockets of birds we had left overnight. We had one spread running shot 5 in the morning and decided to pull the final spread and call it quits way to early in the year! A majority of the birds have moved north into North Dakota and even Canada. Check soon as we travel to North Dakota and possibly Canada to do some fun hunting to end the season!

March 19, 2012: The few roosts that are sticking it out in these extreamly mild temps and south winds are starting to loose numbers daily. We only had one spread running today ending with 19.

He is reporting LARGE numbers of birds in the hunting area. Still snow on the ground, but warm temps will take care of that! WE HAVE A FEW WEEK DAYS STILL OPEN IF INTERESTED...MARCH 20-22 AND MARCH 26-28. KILL THEM BEFORE THEY LEAVE!!!!

March 6, 2012: Had a decent morning flight, but most birds never came back!! Very few birds on refuge...maybe 120K. Ended putting down 6 in on field and 33 in the other. With very few birds left, we took a gamble and pulled a spread after dark and Nick drove all night to SD in hopes of gettin us back under the birds!! Matt will be out of here Thurdsday night!

March 5, 2012: Had a very little push of some new birds, but just as many if not more pulling out at the same time headed north!! One field lucked out and was under the flight putting down 50. The other one was out of the flight and ended with 3.

Feb 2, 2012: As of today squaw creek is reporting 400k snows, but looks like they'll be staying there for awhile Nebraska is in a blizzard warning untill late sat night with snow fall amounts anywhere from 10-12 inches in the western half of the state, and up to or over five inches for the eastern half. Also following that low pressure system they're projecting temps to be in the mid to high 30's with lows below freezing...

Feb 1, 2012: Well today kicked off the opening of the spring conservation season in MO. I have already heard of a few good reports from guys in Mo shooting some geese. Were headed down soon and have too hot weekends open. Feb 17th -19th and also feb 24th -26th. Will be down there shooting geese come join us for a weekend. The 10 day forcast doesnt look like its gonna slow the birds down from getting to squaw creek but looks like nebraska and south dakota are getting some weather that will hold the birds up for awhile.

Jan 30,2012: Its that time of year again snow melting and birds are heading back north, and earlier than usuall!!! There is already huntable number of birds across much of MO including mound city. We are currently running an early bird special since we are going to be hunting geese in mound city at least 10 days earlier than expected. From feb 17th - feb 26th and these days only we are selling hunts for $125 a day per man!!

Call Asap if interested in getting in on some early hunting in NW MO.

Hopefully we will find time to get back out for one last hunt before its all done for the year!

April 5, 2011:

Not many brids left in the area so we put on a few miles and found a nice juvie feed. Decided to set up on them for the morning only putting out about 500 decoys, the hard work paid off as we killed 93 in the am shoot and ended the day with 103!

April 4, 2011:

Had a great day with a push of juvies into the area. Lots of working migrator flocks were eating up the spread. Put down 87 on the day!

April 1, 2011:

Had a decent morning and starting loosing birds in the late morning headed north. Ended the day with a 18 and a 22. Scouted the evening and found a field so we picked a spread after dark and reset it north about 45 miles for the morning hunt!

March 25, 2011:

Had two spreads running. Lots of birds back in the area, but decoying is really tough right now with cold temps and birds only feeding in the afternoon. Lots of flight, but toough pullin all the adults down. Ended the day with 10 in one spread and 12 in the other.

March 24, 2011:

Had another tough day with about 4 inches of new snow on the ground and only adults in the area, ended the day with 6.

March 23, 2011:

Got to the spread early and had to beat off all the ice and snow that had built up on the decoys. Had a tough day with stong winds out of the north causing cold temps and blowing snow all day. Saw lots of adult birds movin south, but managed to kill 6 and a Yellow neck collared ross!

March 22, 2011:

Woke up to pouring rain and 40 mph winds out of the east. Took the day off and watched the rain come down with thunder and lighting and then turn to sleet and eventually snow!

March 21, 2011:

Had a tough day but we stuck it out! The morning brought a heavy frost and then came the low clouds, which made it tough decoying adult birds. Ended grinding out 14 on the day.

March 14, 2011:

Not many birds left in the area, which is making it tough to stay under the flight. We had some sunny skies and no wind on the day. This caused the birds to be interested in the spread, but hard to finish with no wind to make them committe. We still managed to end the day with 47 birds!

March 13, 2011:

Had two spreads running for the morning hunt. One field lost its flight and had a bit of a struggle ending the morning with 3. The second field had a another good hunt ending with 46.

March 12, 2011:

Had another awesome day in the two spreads. Had clear skies and birds decoyed well. the spreads ended with 73 and 87 for the day!

 

 

 

 

March 11, 2011:

Had a successful day with in both spreads with sunny skies and a south wind the first part of the day. Both fields had good mornings with slower evening shoots as the winds switched to the north at 25, which slowed the evening flight. Ended with 28 in one spread and 30 in the other including a blue collar on a ross!

 

 

 

 

 

March 10, 2011:

Finally we had sunny skies back in the forcast! Hunted two spreads today with one ofthem not being under the flight at all. It was a strugle having to work for 3 birds. Our second spread had lots of flight, but at the same time lots of birds flying north, but still managed to put 17 down.

Feb 28, 2011:

Feb 27, 2011:

Didnt hunt today Matt and I emptied snow from our second spread. Snow is melting fast and should be gone by Tuesday. The middle to the end of this week looks really good for some new birds to move into the area.

Feb 26, 2011:

Day two in the snow was a bit tougher with no wind, fog, and freezing drizzle. We were still under the birds, but just not enough wind to make them committe. We still had a successful day putting down 25 birds.

Feb 25, 2011:

The snow storm was a success! We ended with a total accumulation of 6 inches. We had an early morning, heading to the spread at 2 am to empty out 1500 decoys that were blown full of snow! The hard work paid off as we put 141 birds down today!

 

Feb 24, 2011:

Major winter storm hit today there is 3 inches of snow on the ground and still coming down. Snow covers are already on the blinds for morning. Check back tomorrow to see how the blizzard hunt turns out!!
