Pond 2B covers over 5 surface acres of water and is surrounded by corn and bean stubble for duck and goose hunting on your own without blinds.
Missouri Spring Snow Goose HuntingThe dates for Missouri spring snow goose season vary a little each year, but it traditionally run from the end of January until the end of April, with the peak migration mid-February to mid-March.
If the goose hunter finds him or herself in the right place at the right time, spring goose hunting can produce the action packed hunt of a lifetime. MAHA has tens of thousands of acres of Missouri private leased land available to it’s members for Missouri spring goose stretching from north to south Missouri on several of the most recognized flyways in the state. The most popular areas to spring goose hunting are property we have leased near Squaw Creek, Bob Brown, Fountain Grove, Iatan, Big Creek, Grand River and Four Rivers. Many of our spring snow goose hunters begin the season hunting private land in the north zone around the Squaw Creek and Fountain Grove Wildlife Areas and work their way south to land around the Settles Ford and Four Rivers Wildlife Areas. The bulk of the birds north are harvested on dry land in crop stubble fields without permanent blinds. Those with large decoy spreads and electronic calls by far have the best success while, others prefer the challenge of sneaking on large flocks feeding in corn, bean and wheat fields. MAHA’s leases around the Settles Ford and Four Rivers Wildlife Areas have a variety of marshes, irrigation and watershed lakes surrounded by large crop fields for a different style of spring goose hunting. Many of our leases in these areas have permanent blinds that provide the hunter with a comfortable starting point at sunrise. Many of our landowners encourage spring goose hunting because snow geese are a nuisance to their crops. The majority of MAHA’s leased land is greatly underutilized during the Missouri spring goose season, but the dedicated few that participate each year have had great success at times. Any spring snow goose hunter with the decoys, gear and ability to successfully hunt snow geese would be overwhelmed at the mass acreage in prime area that MAHA has to offer the water fowler at such a reasonable price. |

A fairly common comment we hear from the first hunt duck hunter in the Association is just how large our duck hunting areas are. A feature difficult to show in pictures. In this one we highlight a good duck and goose hunting lake that has but one blind on 10+ acres of water and a couple hundred acres of crop stubble. No other calls to be heard except that by the hunters in this blind and hopefully the birds.
Hunters may use electronic calls, unplugged shotguns, and shoot from 1/2 hour before sunrise to 1/2 hour after sunset with no daily bag or possession limit.
