Snow Goose Hunting Dates & Hours in Missouri
Hunting Dates
Our guided snow goose hunts are open from February 7, 2023, through the beginning of March and are limited to snow geese, blue geese, and Ross geese. The spring snow goose season ends on April 30, 2024, but we typically hunt through the middle of March since most of the birds have likely migrated north of us during this time.
Shooting Hours
The snow goose hunts start first thing in the morning and shooting time starts thirty minutes before sunrise to thirty minutes after sunset. You can expect to meet your goose hunting guide at least an hour prior to shooting time. This will allow you and your group enough time to get to the fields and make sure everything is set up for your hunt.
What you need for your spring snow goose hunt
- Your gun(s)
- Ammo – plan for at least two boxes a day with the preferred shells being 3 inches or 3 1/2 inches with a shot size of 2’s 1’s or BBs.
- Non-alcoholic drinks and snacks
- Conservation order permit – the spring conservation permit currently costs $5 for residents of Missouri and $47 for non-residents.
