Hey guys sorry to but into the conversation, but me and my buddy have been looking for somewhere to hunt snow geese since last spring. We were just in lamar about three weeks ago and around the area trying to find some pheasant and quail without any luck. If at all possible we would love to go and try to get some geese if you wouldnt mind the company. Like you out here in the San Luis valley we have permission everywhere and usually do very well with the canadas but that is pretty much all we get down her with a few stragler snows every now and then. I would very much appreciate a hunt. We dont get out a whole lot. Not enought ime when you are trying to makemoney. My e-mail address is [email protected] if you are interested.
hey, snowhunter, how do i contact you? I would like to do some spring snow hunting. If you get let me know that would be great. Im from carbondale
I don't know about snow hunter but I've been hunting snows on the Queens SWA between Eads and Lamar since 1992 and keep a trailer to stay in on a nearby farm. The DOW digs about 50 pits there every goose season, there are plenty of feeding fields with green wheat and corn stubble and the hunting there used to be pretty good when the wind was blowing. But two of the four lakes have dried up, water levels have dropped in the two remaining lakes and this winter has been colder than usual, freezing both to the point where no snows can overnight there. John Martin has the only open water right now and that's where most of the birds are staying. Hunting should pick up when the weather warms, if it ever does over the next two weeks.The situation is the same in Kansas. The area between Cheyenne Bottoms and Glen Elder draws more than a million snows on their northern migration -- far more than in Colorado -- but a lot of the lakes are still frozen there and I've postponed a planning hunt from the last week in February to the second week in March.

Hey SNOW HUNTER I've been trying to get me and my fiancé on some snows but just don't know or have anywhere to go if anyone could shoot me an email and let us tag along or give me some information that would be awesome! [email protected]
Hello Everyone,

Is there anyone with access in south east Colorado still? Around Lamar, Rocky Ford, La Junta area?

I was born and raised in North Dakota with some of the best Ducks and Geese hunting in the world. I have lived here in Colorado for 20 years now and have children of my own. My oldest boy is just 8 and I wanted to get him out and show him what duck/goose hunting is all about so I can get him hooked.

If you have land you are willing to let my teach my kids on please let me know.
