This is our last availability for this spring ‼️update, full for the spring https://www.prairietornadooutfitters.com prairietornadooutfitters@gmail.com 605-695-1025

1st day after setting the migrator spread and hunting lead edge birds. Not a bad half day for two guys. We have March 11-14 available and I’m opening up next weekend March 2 and 3. Get ahold of us if you want to get in on this year’s migration in South Dakota. We’ve got a short but cold weather front coming in midweek and then a drastic warm up again. Next weekend could be a lot of fun if birds get pushed back to the southern edge of South Dakota or further. Email us at prairietornadooutfitters@gmail.com or get ahold of me via text or call at 605-695-1025. https://www.prairietornadooutfitters.com

Always seems to take so long to get to the bottom of the pile. We deployed the migrator spread yesterday and were ready to rock for spring 2024!!

A little sneak peak of the start of the Prairie Tornado Outfitters migrator spread for 2024. The front edge of the migration is in central SD. We got the migrator spread deployed yesterday and killing birds out of it already today. It’s gonna be a different year with birds spread out from SD to Texas and Louisiana but we’re excited because we feel that it’s going to provide some good decoying. We may see less birds day to day but feel that a higher percentage each day will be more willing to cooperate.

Last available dates for this spring - room for 5 March 11-13 Check us out and get ahold of us right away. prairietornadooutfitters@gmail.com https://www.prairietornadooutfitters.com

It’s almost time for us to get things kicked off here in South Dakota for the spring. You aren’t gonna want to miss this season. We still have a few limited openings in the first half of March and it’s looking like we will be in the thick of it by then. For those that have later March dates, don’t worry even though the front edge of the migration might arrive early. The back half will be right on time.

It has been a wild spring in SD. The weather was up and down with a lot more down than up. Usually we spend a short period in early March in the southern portion of SD and then move north chasing the migration. This year was unique to say the least. The birds couldn’t migrate very far into the state over the last month so we got to live the pit life all season this year and have a lot of success with the adults that wanted to push that snow and ice line. We had great times with hunters that we’ve spent many days afield with in the past as well as introduce some new hunters to the sport of spring snow goose hunting. It’s certainly not over for the spring in SD but as the migration slows down along the Nebraska border, we’ve called it a season for guiding and we now shift to time with family chasing the last few snows hanging around the southern edge of the state, listening for that early morning gobble, or getting in the boat for some spring walleyes. Thank you to everyone that gives us the opportunity to put them in a front row seat to the migration!! Snow goose hunting in the spring can be a real grind, especially when Mother Nature throws everything she can at you and she certainly did this year. I can honestly say that because of the wonderful people we have that come hunting with us at Prairie Tornado Outfitters that it is easy to get up and hunt all day every day. A huge thank you to my crew for making sure our hunters are provided an amazing experience! Thank you to my wife, kids, and mother for your support, patience, and holding down the fort during all the time spent away from home with off season preparations and while we spend long days in the field during the season!! I could not do this without you!!! #snows23 #snows2023 #springsnowgoose #springsnows #snowgoosehunting #snowgoose #waterfowl #waterfowlhunting #sitkagear #prairietornadooutfitters #juviejukebox #frontrowseattothemigration #dakotadecoys #bossshotshells

Big spins take time to develop. This one seemed like it wasn’t gonna happen but patience paid off and even though we had no wind and a lot of adults we were able to finish with the tornado right in the decoys. #snowgoosehunting #snowgoose #waterfowl #waterfowlhunting #sitkagear #prairietornadooutfitters #frontrowseattothemigration #bossshotshells

If decoying snow geese don’t get your blood pumping, you need to see a doctor immediately… #snowgoosehunting #snowgoose #waterfowl #waterfowlhunting #sitkagear #prairietornadooutfitters #frontrowseattothemigration #bossshotshells

Things got a little wild this morning…

That’s a good looking feed! Lots of gray in the flocks this year. #snowgoosehunting #snowgoose #waterfowl #waterfowlhunting #prairietornadooutfitters #frontrowseattothemigration

What an awesome weekend!! I was invited to judge at the world championships waterfowl contests in Easton, MD. Had the chance to catch up with some old friends, make some new friends, see some great guys win big contests, and even dust off a call and jump on the world stage. I barely got a chance to practice but it was worth the experience anyway.

Happy Veterans Day to all those that have served our great country! I know I’m getting around to posting this after midnight eastern time but I’ve been a little wrapped up in the honor of judging at the world waterfowl calling contest in Easton, Maryland. It is a true honor to be invited here but I’m humbled by the sacrifice of so many to have the opportunity in this great nation to be able to have the freedom to spend Veterans Day at a waterfowl calling contest. This is still the greatest nation in the world because of those that have sacrificed for us to live these freedoms. God bless you all!!!

Creepin… The memories from the past fuel the fire for the year ahead!

Now is the time! Do you want to be sitting in a blind with this view? If you’re looking to book a snow goose hunt next spring don’t wait to book. We’ve only got a limited number of spots and dates still available. The following dates are what we have open as of now: March 3-5 March 10-12 March 13-15 March 17-19 #snows23 #snows2023 #springsnowgoose #springsnows #snowgoosehunting #snowgoose #waterfowl #waterfowlhunting #prairietornadooutfitters #frontrowseattothemigration

K-Ace enjoys the grind of the spring even more than I do. Don’t know what I’d do without him. He’s saved me many miles over the years. Don’t worry boy, it’ll be that time again before we know it.

A unique one from this past spring. Completely a snow except for a few feathers on each wing that were blue phase feathers. #snows22 #snows2022 #springsnowgoose #springsnows #snowgoosehunting #snowgoose #waterfowl #waterfowlhunting #prairietornadooutfitters #frontrowseattothemigration

The dakota decoys made for a magical morning!! Started off using the jake to creep in on a couple gobblers hung up with some hens and they charged in to find me laying behind the decoy and we double teamed them to fill our gun tags. Then we made a move and set up the double bull with a jake and hen to draw in a lone gobbler for an easy bow kill. That’s only part of the story as 5 gobblers in all were brought into the Dakotas today. What a day of turkey hunting in South Dakota today!!

Ridin the elevator down! #snows22 #snows2022 #springsnowgoose #springsnows #snowgoosehunting #snowgoose #waterfowl #waterfowlhunting #prairietornadooutfitters #frontrowseattothemigration

Dog work is a big part of hunting for me. This old dog has put in a lot of good years and had a pretty fun year this spring. Most days she didn’t show her 12 years of age but several days she was pretty warn out by the end of the day. My youngest son was certainly happy to have her home by the time we wrapped up. Here’s to another great spring of saving me a lot of steps ole girl! #dakotadecoys #snows22 #snows2022 #springsnowgoose #springsnows #snowgoosehunting #snowgoose #waterfowl #waterfowlhunting #sitkagear #prairietornadooutfitters #frontrowseattothemigration

The band mojo was strong this year! I’ve never been one to get too wound up about bands but it sure is cool to see some history behind some of these birds. Always fun to see the extra enjoyment in our hunters when they harvest a band. #dakotadecoys #snows22 #snows2022 #springsnowgoose #springsnows #snowgoosehunting #snowgoose #waterfowl #waterfowlhunting #sitkagear #prairietornadooutfitters #juviejukebox #frontrowseattothemigration #tactacam #shareyourhunt #bossshotshells

Sitting at the trucks is not a good place to be when 1K juvy snows show up outta the south

2022 is in the books. We had some ups and downs as spring snow geese and spring weather will do to you but most days I can honestly say we did better than predicted based on the point in the migration and the weather that day. The season started out tough with a short couple days of birds arriving in SD before a blizzard stalled things out. We battled through and shot quite a few birds before most people even realized there were geese in the state to shoot. The days birds were pushing were great. The days that weather stalled them out were tough. The middle of the migration was great this year with lots of big spins. Not all of them finished but many did and there were a lot of great tornadoes this year. We had a lot of great decoying shooting opportunities. The season ended in a similar fashion as it started with weather coming in and slowing things down after a couple weeks of fire. I want to thank all of our hunters that joined us this year. The weather was less than enjoyable most days but we had a lot of troopers that stuck it out and reaped the rewards. A big thank you to those that let us hunt their land. And a huge thank you to my crew that grinds it out day after day. They’re the best crew an outfitter could ask for. #dakotadecoys #snows22 #snows2022 #springsnowgoose #springsnows #snowgoosehunting #snowgoose #waterfowl #waterfowlhunting #sitkagear #prairietornadooutfitters #juviejukebox #frontrowseattothemigration #tactacam #shareyourhunt #bossshotshells

The pit life! We’re chipping away at the oldest of the oldest snows. It’s been a pretty good start in SD considering we only got a couple good migration days and been dealing with some harsh weather since. We’re looking forward to the warm weather in the forecast and getting these birds on the move again. Old snow geese are tough anytime, but they’re really tough when they’ve been stalled out for a week. #dakotadecoys #snows22 #snows2022 #springsnowgoose #springsnows #snowgoosehunting #snowgoose #waterfowl #waterfowlhunting #sitkagear #prairietornadooutfitters #juviejukebox #frontrowseattothemigration #bossshotshells

It’s been a week into our hunts in SD. We’ve been grinding it out since last Thursday. Started off with some beautiful weather, dealt with a sleet thunderstorm that transitioned to a blizzard, and now into the cold. It’s always rewarding getting a few of these old birds knocked down!!

It was a beautiful sunset over the spread in South Dakota tonight. Made a few final touches this evening as we’re still waiting on the lead edge birds but we’re ready. Should see some movement the next few days. #dakotadecoys #snows22 #snows2022 #springsnowgoose #springsnows #snowgoosehunting #snowgoose #waterfowl #waterfowlhunting #prairietornadooutfitters #frontrowseattothemigration

We’re about a week away from setting this spread again and sitting under big spins. There’s basically no snow in South Dakota right now but that’s about to change tomorrow as a front rolls in and looks to set up a decent snow line to the north of us. This will be followed by a big cold snap this week but the forecast the first few days of March looks like we’re gonna see the front edge birds showing up and kick the season off from the pit. We’ll be ready to catch them as they’re migrating in! #dakotadecoys #snows22 #snows2022 #springsnowgoose #springsnows #snowgoosehunting #snowgoose #waterfowl #waterfowlhunting #sitkagear #prairietornadooutfitters #juviejukebox #frontrowseattothemigration #tactacam #shareyourhunt #bossshotshells

The gang is all ready to get this party started! #prairietornadooutfitters #frontrowseattothemigration #dakotadecoys #bossshotshells #fliwaygear #snows22 #snows2022 #springsnowgoose #springsnows #snowgoosehunting #snowgoose #waterfowl #waterfowlhunting

Big spins are just around the corner! Early March could be a lot of fun in South Dakota this year. We’ve seen some small bunches get antsy and work their way up into the state already. There’s no snow on the ground and the forecast doesn’t show any signs of holding them back. At this rate, we are gonna be covered up in birds by the beginning of March. #dakotadecoys #snows22 #snows2022 #springsnowgoose #springsnows #snowgoosehunting #snowgoose #waterfowl #waterfowlhunting #sitkagear #prairietornadooutfitters #juviejukebox #frontrowseattothemigration #tactacam #shareyourhunt #bossshotshells

It’s getting close to go time! Made the last modifications in the trailer this weekend and started packing things for the field. As I was working, I even saw a couple thousand snows migrate up into SD yesterday. I’m sure we are going to have decent numbers here in February if the forecast holds. Hopefully they’ll get a little weather and bounce south so they can come back up again. Bring on the sleepless grind!! We are ready to roll!! #dakotadecoys #snows22 #snows2022 #springsnowgoose #springsnows #snowgoosehunting #snowgoose #waterfowl #waterfowlhunting #sitkagear #prairietornadooutfitters #juviejukebox #frontrowseattothemigration #bossshotshells

We sure are looking forward to making piles next to the blinds! We’ve got about a month before we are full go chasing these birds day in and day out across South Dakota. If you haven’t planned a spring snow goose hunt yet for this spring you are going to miss out. We have a few openings remaining for this spring and we want to provide you a hunt of a lifetime.

I love observing these birds when they’re casually doin their thing! Always good when there’s a bunch of gray birds in there too! #snows22 #snows2022 #springsnowgoose #springsnows #snowgoosehunting #snowgoose #waterfowl #waterfowlhunting #prairietornadooutfitters #frontrowseattothemigration

These are the moments we all live for and the reason we grind day in and day out to see it over and over! #prairietornadooutfitters #frontrowseattothemigration

Got the @fliwaygear brackets installed. Few more things things to do and the new trailer is ready for the chaos of the spring to kick off. #dakotadecoys #snows22 #snows2022 #springsnowgoose #springsnows #snowgoosehunting #snowgoose #waterfowl #waterfowlhunting #prairietornadooutfitters #frontrowseattothemigration

Bail out! It was a trap!!

Snow geese have seen it all. Getting out of the decoys and blending into the natural surroundings can be key to success. We have a few remaining openings for spring 2022 in South Dakota.

Won’t be long and we’ll be taking in these views again. It takes a sick person to enjoy this grind but I wouldn’t trade an hour of sleep for watching the sun rise over a snow spread. We live and breath watching snows tornado down. #dakotadecoys #snows22 #snows2022 #springsnowgoose #springsnows #snowgoosehunting #snowgoose #waterfowl #waterfowlhunting #sitkagear #prairietornadooutfitters #juviejukebox #frontrowseattothemigration #tactacam #shareyourhunt #bossshotshells

Happy New Year!!! Let’s hope 2022 is better than the last two years for the sake of this nation! One thing is surely promising, this spring is looking to be a fun one.

It’s a tornado in December here on the prairie! No wind and 3 degrees is about the opposite of ideal snow goose hunting conditions but we managed to work this flock anyway. @codens_2022 thanks for pulling the phone out to get some video in the frigid temps.

Planning and prep work for our spring snow goose hunts starts the day after we finish hunting each spring. We’ve been at this game a long time but we’re always adding things to be more successful and efficient. Today was pickup day for the new trailer. Now, to get it fitted with the necessary accessories and fill it up with decoys and gear. #snows22 #snows2022 #springsnowgoose #springsnows #snowgoosehunting #snowgoose #waterfowl #waterfowlhunting #prairietornadooutfitters #frontrowseattothemigration

Specklebelly cream cheese jalapeño poppers are hard to beat!

I can’t wait to be doing this again. We’ve seen a few snows move down to southern SD along with the specks. Sounds like the guys up north have been having some pretty good success. It’s fixing to be a fun year of tornados!!

Won’t be long now and we will start seeing some white tornadoes in the Dakotas. If you haven’t seen the spring migration, get on the books for an experience of a lifetime while you can. You aren’t going to find a better spring snow goose hunting experience than you will with us at Prairie Tornado Outfitters!! We’ve still got openings for March and early April in South Dakota.

I’m extremely thankful for all those in our military past or present that protect us and give us the freedom to enjoy sunsets like this. As I sit overlooking the Missouri River and eating supper with my family, I’ll never forget where I was on that faithful day 20 years ago when the first plane struck the towers. In this crazy world we are in these days, I hope everyone took some time today to reflect on what happened 20 years ago. This country came together in a time of crisis. I wish the entire country was as united today as it was 20 years ago. My thoughts and prayers go out to this entire country on this day and my heart goes out to all of those that lost family or others close to them in those attacks or the aftermath that followed. God bless you all and God bless America! We will prevail over all enemies foreign or domestic!!

Voice your opinion, anti hunting groups are using covid to restrict hunting.

Got my new seat covers put on! The truck is officially ready for hunting season. #marathonseatcovers #waterfowl #waterfowlhunting #prairietornadooutfitters #frontrowseattothemigration

I’m sure the old girl would be much happier in a snow spread with eyes to the sky rather than dealing with triple digit temps. I know I’m ready to be sitting in a decoy spread rather than sweating doing almost anything lately.

It’s never too early to start thinking about snow geese. We had to turn a lot of folks away last spring because we were already booked up. If you’re thinking about doing a spring snow goose hunt then start planning now. Check out our website, shoot us an email, send a text, or give us a call and let’s chat. You won’t find a better spring snow goose hunting experience. We’re driven to put snows feet down day in and day out. We care about your entire experience from the first time you contact us until you’re headed home.

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there!! I couldn’t be more blessed than these three wonderful gifts!!

We are offering a couple of waterfowl hunts in South Dakota this fall!! Hunting waterfowl as a nonresident in the fall in South Dakota does come with some complications, as nonresidents are required to apply through a lottery system. Nonresident waterfowl applications should be available online June 18 and are due online by 8 am CDT July 14th. We can assist walking you through the application process as it can be a bit confusing. The following dates are currently available for fall 2021 waterfowl hunts in South Dakota: September 25-27 November 12-14 If you’ve never shot ducks on a pothole where they were raised, the opening weekend in September can be a lot of fun. If you’re looking for more migration, then the time frame around Veterans Day is a good push of calendar birds year in and year out. We are running these hunts as one group at a time of 4-6 hunters for a 3 day hunt priced at $1,050 per person. Lodging and food is not provided as we will go where the birds are in the state. Feel free to get ahold of us to discuss any questions you might have or just to talk hunting. Get ahold of us by phone at 605-695-1025 or by email at prairietornadooutfitters@gmail.com #dakotadecoys #waterfowl #waterfowlhunting #sitkagear #makeapile #prairietornadooutfitters #frontrowseattothemigration #tactacam #shareyourhunt #wildear

Another year of spring snows is in the books. It’s nice to get some sleep again but it’s always sad to see it come to an end. We had the pleasure of spending some time with friends we’ve made from the past and making a lot of new friends that we’ll cherish long into the future. We had a lot of laughs, shared a ton of stories, froze our butts off, sweated our tails off, shot some geese, and shot some holes in the sky. As with all springs, we had some bad days, we had some good days, and we had a few great days. We are truly blessed to live and hunt in a part of the world that has the most amazing landowners that permit us to chase these crazy birds up and down the state. I can’t thank my crew enough. I asked a lot of them and they were there to answer the bell day in and day out. You guys are amazing! To all of you that hunted with us this year, you make it easy for us to grind it out day after day. We are truly blessed with the best hunters an outfitter could ask for. Every single day was enjoyable because of the people we shared the hunt with and it truly felt like we had been long-term hunting partners from the beginning. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!! I can’t wait until we can do it again next year!! #prairietornadooutfitters #frontrowseattothemigration

The old girl with her eyes to the sky! The spring migration is in full swing in South Dakota. Birds are scattered from the northern 1/3 of SD all the way to Louisiana and Texas. The lead edge birds have been more workable than many previous years and we’ve had some incredible flocks working down from sky. The next few weeks should get real interesting as more birds find their way north. We’ve made some new friends, shared some great laughs, shot some birds, and enjoyed some spectacular sights over the last few days and look forward to more of the same over the next few weeks. 📸 @travishough_ #snows21 #snows2021 #springsnowgoose #springsnows #snowgoosehunting #snowgoose #waterfowl #waterfowlhunting #prairietornadooutfitters #frontrowseattothemigration

It’s about time to get this party started!! After a couple of crazy weeks of extreme cold across the entire midwest and heavy snow down south, the weather has turned and snow geese are on the move. Birds in the central flyway are moving a little faster than birds in the mississippi flyway and we are setting up for a stretched out migration. Here in southern SD we have had very little snow all winter and with the last few days in the 50s and 60s the conditions are right for the birds to get here soon. We will likely see the first few flocks arrive in the next few days with larger numbers arriving next week and a continuous flow for the next several weeks. This is what we think about and prepare for all year!! #dakotadecoys #snows21 #snows2021 #springsnowgoose #springsnows #snowgoosehunting #snowgoose #waterfowl #waterfowlhunting #sitkagear #makeapile #prairietornadooutfitters #juviejukebox #frontrowseattothemigration #tactacam #shareyourhunt #wildear #bossshotshells

Been preparing to be able to set this spread for a month. Thanks to the J2 Ice Ripper, we’ve kept an open hole so that when the time is right we can set an irresistible spread. The time is right so I guess will see how it all comes together tomorrow. #dakotadecoys #waterfowl #waterfowlhunting #sitkagear #prairietornadooutfitters #frontrowseattothemigration #j2iceripper

We may have had a blizzard role through South Dakota today but it’s got me thinking spring snows!

Dates are filling up fast! If you’re still thinking about a spring snow goose hunt get in touch with us right away. Our expertise and hospitality is second to none. We don’t aim to be the biggest but we thrive to be the best every day. We wake up every day with two goals in mind 1) snow geese landing in the spread 2) providing an experience of a lifetime We aren’t satisfied unless both happen! We are addicted to decoying snows in close so we can promise that is our goal every day whether we are guiding or just hunting the spread with longtime friends. We can guarantee that when you sit in the spread with us for a couple days that you’ll feel like we’ve been hunting together for years. Whether it’s sharing stories of previous hunts for many different species, talking about family and friends, or sharing years of knowledge chasing white geese; there’s never a dull moment in our spreads. The camaraderie is as much our enjoyment as the addiction to putting birds feet down. #dakotadecoys #snows21 #snows2021 #springsnowgoose #springsnows #snowgoosehunting #snowgoose #waterfowl #waterfowlhunting #sitkagear #makeapile #prairietornadooutfitters #juviejukebox #frontrowseattothemigration #tactacam #shareyourhunt #wildear

After just a few hunts, I have no problem saying these Boss shells are the real deal!! These 20 gauge 3” 3’s have been incredible whether it’s crushing mallards at 15-40 yards, smoking big honkers at 20-40 yards, or reaching out at 60 yards to tell a snow goose you don’t appreciate that his relatives are jerks most of the time!

If you’re still thinking about a spring snow goose hunt, you won’t find a better experience than you will with us. Get on the books by the end of November and we’ll throw in a free Prairie Tornado Outfitters hoodie and hat.

When you kill a bunch of snows and ducks it’s time to fire up the Green Mountain! #dakotadecoys #snows20 #snows2020 #snowgoosehunting #snowgoose #waterfowl #waterfowlhunting #sitkagear #makeapile #prairietornadooutfitters #juviejukebox #frontrowseattothemigration #tactacam #shareyourhunt #greenmountain

Been hearing reports that juvie numbers are good this year and after our first encounter with snows this fall showed I’d say that’s true. Used some snow socks as an attractant for some field feeding ducks and had a few nice bunches of snows work really well. There wasn’t a ton of snows in this area but almost every flock worked us and we had some excellent decoying. #snows21 #snows2021 #springsnowgoose #springsnows #snowgoosehunting #snowgoose #waterfowl #waterfowlhunting #sitkagear #makeapile #prairietornadooutfitters #juviejukebox #frontrowseattothemigration #tactacam #shareyourhunt #wildear

Corn came out and decoys went up! I did not expect that I’d be setting decoys on the pit in October but with this arctic blast there’s a trickle of snows, the back end of the specks, and some ducks starting to show up so we might as well have it ready to roll. Blends in real nice!!

Birds are starting to migrate south and it won’t be long until we’re covered up with tornados bombing like this one! Follow us this fall to get a sneak peak of what the spring outlook will look like. From what we’re hearing so far, this should be a good year!!

We’re not you’re average snow goose outfitter!! Our hunters’ overall experience is our first priority everyday. Though we are as good as anyone at putting birds in the decoys, we recognize that an outfitter is responsible for much more than just giving the opportunity to pull the trigger. Providing comfort, camaraderie, jokes, good food, hot coffee, great dog work, quality gear, knowledge, stories, etc. are all part of the package when you book with a great outfitter. We aren’t in this just to earn a buck or offer another snow goose spread for people to sit in. We’re doing this to offer the exceptional snow goose hunting experience. So if you’re looking for a snow goose outfitter for Spring 2021 then give us a shout. Oh and did I mention, we’re pretty darn good at putting snows in the decoys!!

Sure wish I was doing this tomorrow morning. If it weren’t for Covid, tomorrow morning would be the first hunt of our annual trip. This whole year has been completely out of whack but my whole timeline for fall is thrown off without our annual trip to the north country. I might just have to join a therapy group for hunters going through withdrawals without kicking their season off in Canada! #dakotadecoys #snowgoosehunting #snowgoose #waterfowl #waterfowlhunting #sitkagear #makeapile #prairietornadooutfitters #juviejukebox #frontrowseattothemigration #tactacam #shareyourhunt #wildear

Good luck to all those that start their regular duck season today!

I always think that it’s Killin me to wait for opening day but I think my four legged hunting partners have a harder time with the wait. 4 more sleeps doggies!! #dakotadecoys #waterfowl #waterfowlhunting #sitkagear #makeapile #prairietornadooutfitters #juviejukebox #frontrowseattothemigration #tactacam #shareyourhunt #wildear

If we aren’t out hunting, we’re preparing for a hunt. Tonight I’m grassing another A-frame style blind. We use prairie cordgrass to grass our blinds. It lasts a long time, provides great cover, and is a native plant across the areas we hunt. We’ve got a couple other blinds that have had cordgrass in them for five years and this will be the first year I’ve added some more grass to them. We use whatever natural cover we can find in the field to add to the blind each day but grassing them this way makes sure we have a great base to start with. #snows21 #snows2021 #springsnowgoose #springsnows #snowgoosehunting #snowgoose #waterfowl #waterfowlhunting #sitkagear #makeapile #prairietornadooutfitters #juviejukebox #frontrowseattothemigration

Who’s ready for the migration to start heading south? I know without our annual trip to Saskatchewan, we are more than ready to get after them. We’ll be running some big migrator spreads in a few weeks catching some of those early flocks coming outta Canada. #dakotadecoys #snows21 #snows2021 #springsnowgoose #springsnows #snowgoosehunting #snowgoose #waterfowl #waterfowlhunting #sitkagear #makeapile #prairietornadooutfitters #juviejukebox #frontrowseattothemigration #tactacam #shareyourhunt #wildear

I can remember everything about the exact moment I heard about the 9/11 attacks. Our history isn’t always a pleasant one but it’s made us who we are today. The resilience this country showed following those tragic events seems like a far cry from where we are today. But this great country and the hero’s that fight for it allow us to continue following the passions and freedoms we enjoy and that make this the greatest country in the world.
