OUTFITTER REVIEW ON BLACK GOOSE OUTFITTERS

One of the most rewarding waterfowling experiences on the planet can be the spring snow goose hunting conservation season. Just witnessing the massive flocks of migrating snow geese, along with all of the other species of waterfowl in full plumage, during the spring season is a reward in itself, especially after a long cold winter. However, hunting spring snow geese and killing spring snow geese are two entirely different challenges!

When I first met outfitter Larry Frimann of Black Goose Outfitters over 10 years ago, I could tell there was something different about him.
