Spring Snow Goose Outfitter

Any suggestions and/or recommendations regarding an outfitter in the Southern Illinois or Eastern Missouri? I need to shoot something!

Did this several years ago right across the river from Missouri in Nebraska and had a blast. Our group shot 45 geese in 1-1/2 days of hunting, however I can't give you an outfitter referral as our guy no longer does it.

I get a mailer every year from and outfitter called www.huntupnorth.com but can't vouch for them or know anything about them. Might be a place to start?

Neu Outdoors is who we've been using for a long time. He is in SE Missouri now guiding out of Dexter. Quite a few guys from Indiana down here hunting with him. The hunt has been tough the last two days because of terrible rain yesterday and cautious birds today. We scratched out 35 today from a field that took 85 yesterday. We saw thousands of birds and had a couple thousand throughout the day take a look at us. Same with most of the fields today. Good time though. his number is 1-877-860-7663.

So what do you do with all those birds? Who cleans them all?

Usually there is someone who will take the the birds. The outfitters use a bird hitch blade that leaves the breast and wings on the for transport. Last year when we shot 167 on the first day, local farmers took all of them. We filled out the necessary forms that enabled them.

we always clean ours, some motels have freezers they allow us to use until we're ready to go home, then pack the breast in dry ice and there still froze when we get home!

W sometimes use heavy grade garbage bags and sply put the geese in them with a bag of ice and it's amazing how cold it will be the meat. I then fillet the breats out when i get home. You legally have to leave a wing attached for transport.

Are they any good? Comparable to...???

Dry cooked liver......

Marinate the crap out of them, smoke them for a couple hours in low heat, not so bad. Eat them straight up, not so good. Just my opinion.
