Anyone willing to share any knowledge, please send me a PM. I have been to Sask twice in the fall and due to a terrible trip this past fall, I'm changing my focus to Alberta since it's a shorter drive. I'd be eternally grateful for any snow goose info for spring or fall hunts. I'm no rookie in the snow goose game, just have never been to Alberta so a point in a general direction would be a huge help. If not, I'm liable to take off in my truck this spring and just drive til I find birds. I've got friends from Ireland and New Zealand that would like to come over this fall, so the more I can have lined out ahead of time, the better. Thanks in advance!

I'd be happy to reciprocate with info on Sask for anyone who can help me.

Scout scout scout thats the best way to do it and I have seen you say a hundred times that you dont need a guide etc etc but in reality the competition is so great now due to the internet and guys just freely handing out information that you have created youre own issues for sure..

Quiet is the best way to hunt... No need to throw out info freely and especially where you go... You shoot yourself in the foot because everyone is watching trust me...

That's why I said "in a PM" in the first line. A province is an awful big area to scout, scout, scout as you say considering it's larger than multiple states combined down here. It's the equivalent of saying somewhere between North Dakota and Arkansas is a good place to start looking for snows in the spring. A lot of guys don't or aren't equipped to chase snows so I figured it wouldn't be any skin off their back to share info, if nothing more than "stay east of here" or "they usually push through in April/May/etc".

Hell, if you wanted to shoot an 80"+ antelope here in Wyoming where I'm from, I'd help you do it because there's so many and I only get to hunt them every few years if I can draw a tag.

They usually push through as soon as they can get food and water. Any one that provide you that date has a great relationship with God. I suggest the SE corner and move north with the birds.

How did you learn the area you have been going to?

Yes I know its a huge area and all but you gotta start somewhere and as much as you dislike guides and tell others to do it yourself it really is a lot of work involves time effort money and most importantly connections...

Alberta will have lots of hunters too and it is good and bad just like everywhere else..

Guides save most hunters all the effort and work involved and have permission on lots of land already so freelancing is good but not a guarantee to find a spot to hunt....

Most guys only have a certain amount of time to be gone there guides do all the work for them and yes it is a few more dollars but a lot less hours of uncertainty for the hunter...

Good luck
