Theyre not as pretty as they are in the spring at that time frame, but they still give a pintails supply and give a good show. A very large portion of the Mid-Continental snow goose population comes through Arkansas which presents great opportunities for fantastic hunting. We were down there when theres a lot of birds and were down when there were barely any. Theyre still going to want to make that trip. Thats what I just say. Lots of options for guns and can't believe how much ammo is in stock. For those of yall listening, if you didnt know, Matt and Dirty Bird Outfitters Arkansas spring snow goose hunt is a part of our US Hunt List.

Just to be able to go up with anybody whos been around the area. And what you do in spring. Whether it be from there, from the West coast, and they had travel restrictions on, or their family didnt feel comfortable, all those funds will be coming back next year. We've used Dirty Bird components in a few of our builds, including their two . But I dont know if you remember me falling in the water, soaking myself head to toe, and then frying my phone on the log on the beach while trying to dry it off. Ive heard that as well. Yeah, we do. And right now is the time frame where youre not really seeing the ducks that are still tucked in the lead. We get down there prior to that. It was brought up to me by my buddy, that, hey, you know, we should look into snow goose hunting. And Hammer. Matthew Piehl: Yeah, its resident early use, starts August 15th.

And what do you do? Folks, Im glad to have todays guest Matthew Piehl, Dirty Bird Outfitters, up in North Dakota and also down in Arkansas Springs. Matthew Piehl: You do have to get drawn. We are the Premiere Waterfowl Outfitter from the prairie potholes of North Dakota! Email Us. Matthew Piehl: Oh that was a very good way to end the hunt. I was traveling wherever, whenever. Ill give youll a little backdrop before I let Matt start talking. Poor Nick. I always tell them, I tell this to everybody, if theres not a good group of young birds, I wont even go look at them in North Dakota. I absolutely never leave home without one. I dont have any choice. The tags will come out somewhere between the end of July to August. We just really truly expected them. So everybody thats applied, actually went on and applied, has been drawn. But boy, the difference is, once you cross that Canadian border, you go from 8 ducks to 6 ducks, 4 pintails to 1 pintail. It makes it worth it. Because that part of the States youre in, Im just guessing, geographically you all probably have a pretty decent corridor of migratory birds coming through. What are habitat conditions like in North Dakota this year and how might if effect hunting? It wasnt like you went to my high school and you asked whos a pheasant hunter? Dirty Bird Outfitters is here to offer you that hunt of a lifetime. I mean, theres guys that shoot 15 birds here and there. And what you do in spring. Its just, when the numbers hit, its as good as it gets. I know theres a lot of guys that we had a few guys that have either canceled our Canada trips or are thinking of canceling the Canada trips that are contacting us. Argentina, Mexico, 6 whole continents worth. Because you all got bookings and we dont know, that it was a good hatch until after starting. Dont shoot unless youre pretty much instructed to. Ill tell you right now, I learned my lesson that time. Voormis growing line of innovative of performance products is authenticity with humility. I said, I want it done right. Yall reserve opening week, non-resident, North Dakota typically for the opener. Matthew Piehl: I think so, to a point. See you next time. Maybe not everybody is listening, but a lot of young people. And Ive heard that 90%-95% of hatch year birds are shot. My dad, myself, my uncle and my cousin would always take a trip. Everything kind of seems to be a step or two behind this year. And I said, hey, lets go hunt tomorrow. So thats where I started my waterfowl hunting really. Well let me ask you this, growing up in the North Dakota prairie pothole region, with all those ducks and geese produced, do most kids grow up in North Dakota as duck hunters? Ill pick the drakes, and the only thing that there are two brown looking models, duck looking birds. Ive had enough of the not being busy. And now that my secrets out Ill tell yall something else: Ive got 3 of them. And we shot limits of ducks and geese. But then, a late snow came in and those little fur balls just cant, I mean a four inch tall fur ball or six inch tall fur ball with a foot of snow on top of them dont live. I mean theyre literally standing around on ice, theyre consuming their fat reserves for calories. Weve been keeping busy. But they were spread out and you watch a group of five and a half is dumping into a bean field, half mile off the road knowing that, you cant really touch them. You cant go down to the gas station, get something you need, something you want, and whatever. And our spring wetlands index was also in the top 10 for what weve had. And Ive done it with a group of guys. The vast variety of animals and friendly staff make this farm a five star experience. But weve had very, very good success with them. What has a large group of Ross geese, swan group? So for us, its a great opportunity to be able to chase feeds down there. Yep, Ive been playing touching cat mouth touch and go. And you know, the redhead story you were telling. Everyone that hunts spring snow geese know that when its hot its hot and when its not its not, but guests should optimistically expect to shoot 20-40 snows and allow for 3 boxes of ammo daily. But yeah, its within the top 10 ever, as far as the wetlands index is. Matthew Piehl: Theres my place north of Bismarck. But even with that, its almost like, you have lost interest from every now and then, and I guess, I dont understand that part of it. It probably should be last year, right at the end of July they came on. We guide in North Dakota during October-November-December and offer combo duck/goose hunts, diver hunts, swan hunts. Thats what I just say. Matthew Piehl: It could. We didnt pull the trigger again on brant that afternoon. We will be pumping out sound with our 4 speaker e-callers. So as time went on, it was just talked about here and there. I said no, Im serious, I just think, its just typical man. Steel shots come a long way in the past 30 years, but well never, ever perform like good old fashioned lead. The minute she turned around, and faced us, we all saw that band on his leg. So you wait it out. Do you all ever shoot snow geese in North Dakota? And you know, the redhead story you were telling. And its just at some point about 9:00 or 9:30 AM, a couple of hours after shooting time, something changed, something happened, and here they come, ducks and geese. Ill go on record to say everybody knows, I love shovelers, I love red birds, I love decoys, but really truly the older I get, I have got a love and admiration and respect for snow geese that very few I guess have. But when we get our pushes of giants down out of the North, those will stick around for as long as they can. . But like you said, its hot. But the one whole side of my life is birds from that area.

The food, the atmosphere, the service, the effort, the people and the places for which this wonderful tradition of ours is revered. But what are you going to do? Matthew Piehl: Yep. Thank you all for listening to Duck Season Somewhere. Its a different spring for everybody. How do they connect with you all? I mean, a lot of friends in the industry obviously, whether they have operations up there or just even can we take a trip? How did you get into it? But boy, it can complicate the actual convenience of getting out there and hunting them, when you got too much water on the landscape. Yeah. And I do, I work over the drakes, Matt. Id have to say, with the one that sticks in my head to this day, it always will, is the first time I shot a Sandhill crane and watching that thing helicopter down. I remember talking to Nick. Particular first thing went out of his mouth to me in the morning is, I thought this was a dry field hunting. Barely anymore do we pass on flocks of ringnecks. Well, this colony is one of the largest producers of Ross geese. Its comfortable over a wide temperature gradient, naturally anti-microbial, remaining odor free. I mean, it was everybody.

I was talking about speckled belly goose hunts, just not too long ago, was talking about specks and therefore snows in the Arctic. Tom BeckbeThe Tom Beckbe lifestyle is timeless, harkening an American era that hunting gear lasted generations. What the weather is going to be like or anything else. We did it every year. Between that and finishing up our spring season, and then just off-season work and decoy fixing, and then family and its crazy. There really is. And I dont know, but I wonder and Ive also heard, this blows my mind, that 90%-95% of all hatch birds are shot between the time they hatch on the Artic and return. We dont know. I just asked an outfitter there, hey, what about setting up on that point? But I think it probably also depends on where you grow up at. Theres just something about them when theyre working. There is no daily bag limit or possession limit. Matthew Piehl: Running traffic and get in front of them and lay out that big spread, and its been very successful for us. When I was younger, we used to chase them all over the countryside and we did okay. So over the course of a weekend, I took two and he will never let me live it down. Its busy, thats for sure. And the million-dollar question is whether or not the Canadian border is going to be open. And thats a lot of what we have. I dont have any choice. Thats the only distinction.

And it can be that way anywhere in the world you go. I mean, if anybody goes for any other reason, just go see Hammer. Trust is earned. But that you know really, theres three weeks that are probably prime. I mean, Nick has worked for me and another friend of mine forever. Yeah, no doubt. And we dont know that, if it was a good hatch like the past few years that a late storm didnt come in.

It was hard enough scheduling prerequisite courses around deer stand times. And I was holding the fall on a good Judy hatch. I got a good one. I fell in love with waterfowling from the get go. But those adults, you can pretty much walk and cross the border and I think they get smarter. Is that like, top 10 of all time youre saying? I like swan hunts, dont ask me why.
