Come on guys i'm not asking for you to give up your spots or to use your equipment, just a little time frame so i know and i can get some arrangements made from work for the time off.

We have gone the last week of October for the last ten years and have always run into them. We hunt the north central part of the state. Good luck

If you wanted to shoot Snows I would plan my trip the first week of Nov. You should have several different plans (areas of the state) due to the changing weather and the (possible)quick movement of the geese through the state. Oct. can be a good month to hunt if its not to warm and the farmers have their crops out. All in all, its a dump shoot on when they'll be here but the duck hunting and black goose hunting is always good.

In the last few years I have had better black goose hunting in the PR (Nevis) area than I have for snows in ND.

Good Luck

Hello from Devils Lake,

Light geese seem to be making the migration later and later every year mostly because there is no pressure in Canada. It all depends on the weather but to give your self the best chance to shoot some snows come between the 15th of October and the 3rd week in Nov. My best hunts usually come during the deer rifle season when everybody else is chasing deer we are still in the decoys.

I do have lodging for anybody hunting in the Devils Lake area this year. The house sleeps six and has a garage to keep the dogs. The house is fully furnished with everything you need to make you feel right at home. With all of the rain we have had this summer it is going to be a great fall for ducks and geese.

The season isn't that far away!

I grew up in Minot, ND, and make it home EVERY fall for goose hunting. As others have stated, last week in October to the first two weeks in November is prime time for that area. (N Central all the way to the canadian border).

Thank God my dad still lives in Minot, and usually calls me when it's prime time, and i leave work with only 1 days notice for a great week in the field "back at home".

Man, sure can't wait. I'm already getting excited, and we are a few months off!

Josh! Might be getting in contact with you around Xmas time or before for a guided perch excursion on Devils Lake for dad and I as a Christmas gift. What more could an outdoors guy want than learning to fish one of the best perch lakes around.
