Location, Location, Location....Hunt the infamous Big Stone Refuge in Western Minnesota!

We goose hunt near the Big Stone National Wildlife Refuge in Ortonville, MN. The refuge was established in 1975 and has over 11,000 acres. The prime objective was to provide optimum nesting cover for ground-nesting waterfowl. The majority of our early season goose hunts will take place over the fields. Our hide is composed of Tanglefree Flight Series layout blinds. These blinds are durable and easy to hide. The best part is they are very comfortable, top notch product. If crops are still in the fields, there is a chance we will utilize standing corn or panel blinds. The geese will not be disappointed in out spread with life like full body Dakota Decoys and realistic Tanglefree silhouettes. We have all the equipment to make your hunt as successful and memorable as possible.
