Fall hunts run from November through Jan 21st.

Hunts are done at the "Goose Pit", owned by Mike Olmstead.  I guide hunts on this 25 acre pond, which is bordered on all sides by refuge.  To the south, less than a half mile, is the Platte river; which is refuge for 20 miles east and west.  To the North, North-West, and East are over 30 other lakes, all within 3 miles that cannot be hunted.  This sets the stage for very relaxed birds that decoy extremely well.

We will be hunting out of a 20 foot, heated, pit blind with all day hunting in mind.  I will cook a "heart attack" breakfast shortly after the early morning flight.  Lunch is up to you; but will say the local pizza place does deliver right to the blind.  Walks to the blind are short, mud is never a problem, and waders are never needed.  It really is as easy-going as it sounds.

I have hunted this location for 25 years and live within a mile on the bank of the Platte River refuge.  Needless to say, I have the migration trends pretty much pegged in this area.  Throughout my life, I have hunted a lot of places and none of which have produced as consistent of results from the beginning of the season until the bitter end as this one, season after season.

Price is $100 per day per hunter, $50 for kids 15 and under. Maximum of six hunters per day.
