Notes: With an excellent Department of Conservation, along with help from local landowners, Missouri is now home to thousands of migrating ducks and geese each fall.  The area around the Swan Lake National Wildlife Refuge is steep in waterfowling heritage and used to winter the vast majority of the Eastern Prairie Population Canada Geese.  Big reservoirs up the flyway have put an end to the staggering numbers of dark geese that used to call Swan Lake Home, however there are still several Canadas that stop and thousands of ducks.  This hunt will more than likely take place in a buckbrush oxbow surrounded by big oak trees.  However, depending on what the birds are doing it could end up on the big water, in a marsh, or in a flooded grain field.

If requested, lodging will be provided the night before the hunt.  The accommodations include a two story farm house, full kitchen, grill, smoker, etc just 2 miles from the refuge.
