Migrator Valley Outfitters

Migrator Valley Outfitters operates guided hunting across North America with a focus on spring snow geese, but that's just the start. They run simultaneous operations in seven hunting regions, each with dedicated staff and lodging.

Their flagship North Dakota operation at Ringneck Resort offers combination hunts in Prairie Pothole Country. Mornings feature waterfowl hunting followed by afternoon pheasant pursuit—no pen-raised birds, only wild populations. Packages run 2-5 days with included meals, lodging, alcohol, bird cleaning, and shells. Pheasant licenses ($122) and waterfowl licenses ($100) are separate.

Pricing: - 2-Day Pheasant: $1,795 - 3-Day Combo: $2,750 - 4-Day Combo: $3,400 - 5-Day Combo: $4,250

Groups of 6+ hunt as private parties. Maximum capacity is 48 hunters with October-December season dates.

"We specialize in spring snow goose hunts. The conservation season was set in place to reduce the exploding numbers of snow geese."

SE Missouri (Sikeston) - Hunts run February 7-26 at $235/day per person over heated pits. They use decoy spreads exceeding 3,000 birds to work migrating flocks. Located on the Mississippi Flyway, this is an all-day hunt requiring packed lunches. Bird cleaning available for $15/day or $3 per bird (chest cavity with both breasts and one wing retained for transport).

NW Missouri (Mound City) - Positioned near Squaw Creek National Wildlife Refuge, one of the top spring snow goose staging areas. Same heated pit setup and large decoy spreads.

Tejas Waterfowl handles their Lubbock, Texas operation offering sandhill crane hunts—birds described as requiring precision decoying due to keen eyesight. Lesser Canada geese hunts mirror snow goose tactics with large flocks, vocal activity, and tight concealment requirements.

Pricing: - Crane/Goose Package #1 (morning + meals + lodging): $535/person (4-person minimum) - Crane/Goose Package #2 (morning hunt only): $415/person (4-person minimum) - Dove hunts: $125 per gun - Observer: $75

Each operation includes hunting lodge accommodations with full meals (breakfast at 7-8 am, lunch breaks, signature suppers), happy hour appetizers, and bird processing. Missouri hunts use nearby motels in Sikeston or Mound City areas with Memphis, TN airport access (90 minutes from Sikeston).

50% deposit required within 14 days of booking, balance due on arrival. Cash, checks, and credit cards accepted. All payments non-refundable, but party member swaps are allowed.
