THANK YOU FOR VISITING SAMPSON'S HUNTS. THIS WEBSITE WAS DEVELOPED TO SHOW POEPLE HOW WE DO IT WHEN IT COMES TO SPRING SNOW GOOSE HUNTING. SPRING SNOW GOOSE HUNTING BEGINS WHEN ALL OTHER MIGRATORY WATERFOWL SEASONS CLOSE. THEN IT IS ALL OUT WAR ON SNOWS, BLUES, AND ROSS GEESE IN THE CENTRAL FLYWAY. STATES LIKE NEBRASKA HAVE NO LIMMIT ON THE LIGHT GEESE, AND OTHERS LIKE SOUTH DAKOTA HAVE A LIBERAL 20 BIRD LIMMIT. HUNTERS CAN TAKE THEIR PLUG OUT OF THEIR SHOTGUNS AND SHOOT AS MANY SHELLS AS THEY CAN FIT IN THEIR GUN. THE USE OF ELECTRONIC CALLING SYSTEMS REVOLUTIONIZED SPRING SNOW GOOSE HUNTING.
MY NAME IS JONATHAN SAMPSON AND I CHASE THEESE GEESE FROM FEBRUARY 15 TO APRIL 15 EVERY SPRING. I START IN SOUTHERN NEBRASKA IN AREAS LIKE THE RAIN WATER BASIN OR THE PLATTE RIVER. I FOLLOW THE BIRDS AS THE MOVE NORTH THROUGH LEWIS AND CLARK LAKE IN FLOCKS OF UP TO 1 MILLION BIRDS. I FINISH UP THE SEASON IN NORTHEAST SOUTH DAKOTA HUNTING THE LAST LARGE CONCENTRATIONS AT PLACES LIKE SAND LAKE NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE, OR LAKE THOMPSON AND LAKE PRESTON.
I HUNT OVER SPREADS OF 500 TO 2500 GREEN BAY COMPANY AND SILLISOCK DECOYS ALONG WITH A ONE OF A KIND ELECTRONIC CALLING SYSTEM. USING ALL DIFFERENT MAKES AND MODELS OF LAY OUT BLINDS TO PUT HUNTERS UNDER LOTS OF GEESE. SCOUTING RELENTLESLY TO FIND THE FIELDS GEESE WERE TORNADOING INTO PRIOR TO THE HUNT.
JUST IMAGINE, YOU LOOK AROUND AT THE HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF DECOYS AS YOU GET READY TO GET IN YOUR BLIND. DUCKS SEEM TO BE FLYING EVERYWHERE BUZZING AROUND THE FIELDS JUST BEFORE THE SUN COMES UP. AS IT GETS LIGHT YOU CAN SEE SCANES OF GEESE ETCHING THE HORIZON OF IN TWO DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS. IT IS NOT LONG BEFORE FLIGHTS OF GEESE START STEADILY COMING OUR DIRECTION . THE LONERS AND PAIRS SEEM TO COME IN THE BEST PROVIDING GOOD SHOTS AT 30 -50 YARDS, WITH AN OCCASIONAL BIRD RIGHT ON THE LANDING DECK. AS YOU STARE UP AT THE SKY YOU NOTICE WHAT LOOKS LIKE HUNDREDS OF GEESE CIRCLING IN WHAT MAY BE THE OZONE LAYER. YOU KEEP AN EYE ON THEESE BIRDS AS YOU WATCH A TORNADO OF GEESE START TO FORM ON THE HORIZON A COUPLE MILES AWAY. AS THE GEESE ABOVE START TO GET LOWER YOUR HEART STARTS TO PUMP AS YOU REALIZE THE GEESE ARE STARTING TO TORNADO OVER YOUR FIELD. THE ROAR OF THE BARKING SNOW GEESE CRISS-CROSSING OVERHEAD IS DEAFNING. AS THE BOTTOM OF THE GOOSE TORNADO NEARS 40- 50 YARDS YOU NOTICE 2 OR 3 LONERS JUST CUPPED UP AND COMING STRAIGHT DOWN INTO THE DECOYS. THIS IS AS GOOD AS IT GETS YOU THINK AS YOU HERE THE GUIDE CALL THE KILL SHOT. AS THE VOLLEYS OF SHOTS GO OFF THE ENTIRE FLOCK CATCHES THE WIND AND FLARES DOWN WIND. ASIDE FROM THE BIG SNOW YOU SMOKED YOU SAW 3 OR 4 FALL STONE DEAD FROM THE OTHER GUNS IN YOUR GROUP, AND WAIT AS THE FLOCK LEAVES YOUR FIELD 2 OTHER GEESE FALL OUT AND CRASH ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FIELD. THIS IS HOW WE DO IT AT GOOSEPRO.COM SO BOOK YOUR SPRING SNOW GOOSE HUNT TODAY!
