Early September in New York marks the start of some of the most productive goose hunting of the year.

Our guided NYS early-season goose hunts in the Finger Lakes region are carefully planned and executed with one goal in mind: putting birds at your feet. We focus on resident populations, proven setups, and well-managed hunts that consistently position hunters in the action.

🔥 Prime window: September 21st–25th is consistently the BEST time to catch those molt migrators moving — if you know, you know.

âś… 15 bird limit per person
âś… Unplugged guns allowed
✅ Minimal availability — these dates go QUICK
âś… Military / Group Rates

If you’ve been waiting all year to knock the rust off and stack birds early, this is it.

📅 Early September dates are almost gone — especially that 21st–25th window.

Call/Text (315)-237-4448 to reserve your hunt.

We set up out of a trailer blind built by the owner of Feathers Down Flyway and placed it right in a traffic field. The spread was no joke—around 3,000 decoys between silhouettes, headed socks, and full bodies.
Throughout the hunt we worked three separate flocks of snow geese, each flock pushing a minimum of 1,500 birds. The skies were full and the birds worked the spread just how you like to see them.
With a minimal crew of shooters in the blind, we were still able to put together a solid strap, taking 8 Greater Snow Geese, 1 Greater Blue Phase Snow, and 1 juvenile Blue Phase Ross.
This season we made the decision to step away from running clients for snow goose season to prove that we can consistently locate and hunt these birds here in the Finger Lakes. Today was another step toward that goal. Not every day is a burner, but when the birds are here we’re on them.
Big things coming for future seasons. Stay tuned. 🦆❄️�

Teaser is out for this trip up to New York to get with the guys from Feathers Down Waterfowl Guide Service.

12/14/2025

We had the opportunity to bring an all girls group out for a 2 day hunt and let’s just say they had a blast!💥 With everything freezing up we hit the lake and they didn’t disappoint! Putting down 11 birds and 1 goose on Saturday, we made the switch to skinny water Sunday were they shot 4 black ducks and 3 geese! With the limits in NY being 1 per person they gave the guides the chance to shoot their limit of honkers too! Let’s just say it was a great weekend in the blind and we can’t wait to have yall out for an early September goose hunt!



P.S. New York please raise your goose limits!!
