We have chased the white Devils around a bit. South Dakota has been the best for us that time of year. Good luck with a guide. Most decent ones will be booked. The Facebook heroes are mostly a scam. I recommend staying mobile which is a lot of work and finding a outfitter/guide willing to work that hard is hard to find anymore. Fuel and equipment cost are killing them.
Best guy we ever hunted with retired. We got burned bad by Eaglehead so I certainly can’t recommend them.
When snow hunting is good it’s good but it can be incredibly frustrating to. Plan at least a 3 day hunt and hope for 1 good day and 1 okay day and 1 so so day.
Good luck
Curious as to the issues you had with Eaglehead?
Reader’s Digest version. Was very responsive up to deposits being received. After checks cashed not so responsive up to and including day before hunt. On the way to SD before we were informed of what town to meet in. Finally got a location and time to meet the morning of the hunt. He drove up with blaring music and was the rudest most arrogant SOB. Gave remainder of payment in cash and not even thanks.
Follows to an overgrown cow pasture that had 3’ high weeds in it. A spread of about 100 socks mingled around. We said WTH is this and oh well maybe he knows something we don’t. Sat till noon and he didn’t say two
words and we never saw a bird. We suggested a move would be in order and he started throwing our gear in a sled and took off on the 4 wheeler. Damaged a gun in the sled while driving like an idiot. Got cocky and wanted to
go to fist with the guy that had is gun damaged. He ended up pealing out all of or our money back out of his pocket and we parted ways.
Realize I’ve hunted geese from Kansas to Saskatchewan. The other guys have hunted waterfowl from Argentina to Hudson Bay. We have been waterfowling since the 1970’s so we are not rookies and can call BS when we see it.
Wish I could find the pictures of the set up. It was classic.
