Rules
Common Questions About Waterfowl Hunting in Arkansas, South Dakota & OK
Can we bring our trained dogs?
A. If your party is a private party then Absolutely, but please understand our Policy. Your dog must be steady to shot. Dogs must be able to sit quietly while birds are working. It’s for everyone’s benefit and safety. We prefer that your dogs be experienced and trained. If booking with less than 8 in a group then we have a no dog policy. Any questions, please ask while booking your hunt.
Do I need waders?
They are not a necessity as long as you have waterproof boots. However; some hunters prefer them to keep warm and would like to get in water while helping put out decoys. It will depend somewhat on whether you are hunting ducks in South Dakota, spring snow goose in Arkansas, and Oklahoma waterfowl. Contact us to go over details.
Will our guide clean our birds?
During the Spring Conservation order for snow geese we charge $5.00 per bird. Please let your guide know before the hunt if you want this service to be provided.
Do I need to send a Deposit?
Yes, a 50% deposit is required for your group, upon receipt a confirmation will be issued by email. No guarantee of hunting dates will be given without a deposit. A confirmed date is a sold date and cannot be refunded, as we are completely booked into the season and in many cases have to turn hunters away.
Do you accept credit cards
Yes we accept all major credit cards including corporate cards.
What time do we start hunting, and where do we meet our guide?
Spring snow goose hunts run half hour before sunrise until half hour after sunset. Your guide will contact you the day or night before your hunt to inform you of the location and time you will meet. If you are staying over night your guide will meet you at your hotel or our lodge the morning of your hunt.
What size shot should we buy?
For geese we suggest you buy 3″ or 3 1/2″ 1′s or BB. For ducks we suggest you buy 3″ 1′s or BB.

About The Goose Guys
At The Goose Guys Waterfowl Hunting, waterfowl isn’t just a season — it’s a lifestyle built on decades of experience, hard work, and a deep respect for the land we hunt. What started as a small guiding operation has grown into a premier multi-state waterfowl outfitter specializing in high-quality hunts across Arkansas, South Dakota, Oklahoma, and beyond.
For more than two decades, we’ve built lasting relationships with farmers, landowners, and loyal clients who trust us to deliver consistent, honest, and unforgettable hunts. Our team is made up of seasoned, full-time guides who spend countless hours scouting, studying bird patterns, and preparing fields long before sunrise. When you hunt with The Goose Guys, you’re stepping into a setup that was chosen with precision and backed by years of knowledge on what makes waterfowl tick.
We pride ourselves on three things above all else:
Integrity, effort, and results.
We won’t sugarcoat conditions, we won’t overpromise, and we won’t stop working until every opportunity has been earned. Whether you’re decoying giant Canada geese in the Dakotas, chasing dry-field mallards, or watching the sky fill during the Arkansas Snow Goose Conservation Order, our goal is always the same — to give you the kind of hunt you’ll talk about for years.
Our operation is built for hunters of all experience levels, from first-timers to seasoned waterfowlers. We offer top-tier gear, comfortable blinds, safe field transportation, and the professionalism you expect from a full-time guiding service. Most importantly, we create an environment where guests feel welcomed, appreciated, and part of the hunt from the moment they arrive.
At The Goose Guys, you’re not just booking a hunt — you’re joining a crew committed to doing things the right way, every time. Come experience honest guiding, hard shooting, and the kind of camaraderie that makes waterfowl hunting what it should be.
