Just as WILDFOWL’S  Big September Goose Issue hits newsstands, we kick it off with hosts Skip, Nathan, and Big Jim connecting with Rob Hansen of Leg Iron Outfitters in Arkansas to talk all things snow goose hunting, from mouth calling and banded birds to using dog whistles to call the shot. 

“It’s a three-second high that can’t be duplicated by anything you can do in your life,” Rob says of the moment the shot is called. The guys look back on last snow goose season, and changes they’re seeing in bird behavior and populations. Rob talks about growing up in southern snow goose country, what it takes to kill the white birds day in and day out, what can ruin a hunt, common mistakes  , how to hunt with small spreads, when and how to use various snow goose decoys, hiding strategies, and much more.
