The chances of having a successful Arkansas snow goose hunting experience are best beginning in February. The use of electronic calling devices as well as unplugged guns is also allowed at this time and until March. After this time, restrictions may apply. However, no matter what month a hunt occurs in, a very important element in its success is the hunting blind used.

Electronic recordings are available that play the sounds of geese as they are flying or feeding. The best versions minimize background sounds of wind, cars, or planes. Recordings with good clarity will allow very loud playing without becoming distorted, and reach several birds. Sounds of feeding are generally used in areas where the geese are in fields feeding and flying low. While migrating, or when flying higher, sounds of flight may be necessary to include.

In addition to using the right sounds, choosing the right blind for a good hunt is very important. Hunters each have their own unique style and technique, so finding the correct one is essential for personal comfort as well as success. The perfect model will vary by individual, and luckily there are many varieties available.

The fabric used can be a natural substance or else man-made. The hunting conditions should ultimately determine whether a camouflaged fabric pattern is used. Man-made fabrics do have benefits, such as their superior water resistance and lightness. However, this lightness also means that they can be damaged more easily and are difficult to later fix. In contrast, the natural fabrics are easily repaired and much more durable. However, they weigh more and will need to be thoroughly dried to prevent them from developing mildew or mold.

Roof types vary as well. The most popular are the spring-loaded roof types. These swing open with great speed and give a hunter a three hundred sixty degree range of vision and for shooting. Zipper closing roofs are also options, but open up more slowly and can sometimes create an obstructed view. When hunting above water or when wing shots are not needed, zipper closings can be useful.

Blinds may be placed in pits or above the ground. The correct choice depends upon the surrounding landscape. If a blind will not blend in well, pits are best. However, even in a pit a camouflaged covering is necessary. In cold and wet conditions pit blinds become uncomfortable, but they remain well hidden. The above ground versions should only be used in areas surrounded by natural vegetation or with trees present along the water.

Arkansas snow goose hunting is best done from February through March. During this time hunters can use electronic recordings of geese sounds and unplugged guns during a hunt. Blinds used are also key components and can determine if a hunt is successful or not.
