We are a full time guide service that specializes in Snow Geese starting in mid November through late March, spending up to 95 days a season hunting them. Successful Snow Goose hunting requires many hours of scouting with large amount of money spent on blinds, decoys and leases.
We scout for every party in 2 states covering 7 counties, sometimes driving 450 miles in a single day. We are hunting 8 different concentrations of birds ranging from from 10,000 to 100,000 Snow Geese which helps produce quality hunting through out the season with no one area being over gunned.
All of our hunts are field hunts on leased farms that have been scouted the day before. We lease over 70 farms in Delaware and Maryland. Most hunts are from A-Frame Blinds and we sometimes hunt from our custom made recliners.
Delaware and Maryland winter close to 500,000 snow geese annually. Delaware is home to two major snow geese roosts – the 16,000 acre Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge (Kent County) and the 9,900 acre Prime Hook Nationals Wildlife refuge. (Sussex County) Combined these refuges host over 400,000 snow geese each fall. Both refuges provide large fresh water impoundments and tidal marshes for snow geese.

Top Notch Snow Goose Hunting in Maryland - Half Day Hunt
Centrally located between the huge tidal marshes of southern New Jersey and endless cornfields of Maryland’s Eastern Shore, Delaware winters close to 500,000 snow geese annually. Delaware is home to two major snow geese roosts- the 16,000 acre Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge (Kent County) and the 9,900 acre Prime Hook Nationals Wildlife refuge. (Sussex County) Combined these refuges host over 400,000 snow geese each fall. Both refuges provide large fresh water impoundments and tidal marshes for snow geese.
We currently lease over 30 farms in Kent and Sussex county. We have farms covering a large area both close to and farther inland from the refuges. Since we have hunted these areas for over twenty years, we have leased only the best farms used by wintering snow geese.
Snow goose hunting requires a huge amount of decoys. We use mostly full bodies and some silo socks. More so than any other waterfowl, huge spreads of decoys are an important part to harvest snow geese. Being on the ‘X” is most important but we have had a lot of good hunts (25-50 birds) just getting under the birds and hunting traffic. 200 decoys was deadly ten years ago but today 1500 – 2000 decoys are needed for those same results.
Your guide will meet you at the hotel or at an assigned place at an assigned time. From the hotel you will follow your guide to the farm. Have your snacks, coffee, and refreshments ready for your morning hunt as we will not be stopping at a convenience store. Everyone will help in setting up the decoy spread. The guide calls all the shots. At the end of the hunt, everyone helps picking up the decoys.
