So my research of this forum shows these are the two most popular goose guides in the area.
They both have openings but BP is $50 more expensive for just the day hunt. He does offer a package though which includes pre hunt dinner, lodging, guided hunt, post hunt lunch AND bird cleaning for only $295.
If I go with the less expensive hunt ($175), motel fee ($85), dinner ($10), lunch ($6) and bird cleaning fees ($15-20?) I figure I will spend about the same amount ($296) making the package deal from Bay Praire work out to the same total cost as Third Coast with everything else.
So, price is basically neutral now, which one do you pick and why?

We hunted with bay praire about a week ago 6 of us and we ended up all limiting out on specks and shot about 13 snows. and couldve nailed some cranes if we had our permits. weve hunted with them over the years and we usually are very succesful.

Snow geese are just white feral hogs with wings

Muddyz, don't forget to factor in a tip, if warranted ( a la Reservoir Dogs). Good luck!

Thanks! actually if you shoot any number of geese the tip should be about 50 bucks per person guides dont make chit!!! its the owner of the operation that makes the real money and thats not really much either.
