One of the best guides in the business is Jason Christensen. I have been fortunate to be able to hunt in many regions, and I have never found anyone better than Jason. You will find competence, game, good humor, and most importantly a great time. Jason and his team work hard from sun up to sundown, and they are always in a great mood. I enjoyed my hunt in Nebraska very much, and would recommend Jason and his team to anyone and everyone.

Thanks for the unbelievable experience!!!!!!!!!! Our experience with you in the field was one of the best experiences we have ever had! Coming all the way from Utah and not knowing you personally we were all a bit nervous about how the hunt would turn out. All I can say now is that you guys not only know how to get the birds on the ground (when we were actually hitting them) but more importantly you know how to treat your clients! Seeing literally hundreds of thousands of snow geese and other water fowl was wonderful, but honestly the best part was simply the friendships gained and the professionalism that both Jason and Aaron provided. The whole experience is second to none and has us coming back every year. Until next year, we will just have to sit back and reminisce! Oh and by the way, everyone told me you have to experience it first hand to really understand what hunting in Nebraska is all about, they were right! For me to be able to describe the sun setting on the cut fields while flock after flock whistled through the sky would be unfair! All I can say is, you just gotta be there to see what hunting in Nebraska is all about! Thanks for a world class opportunity and we will see you as soon as possible.
Thanks,

My group of 5 guys hunted with Jason last year in South Dakota. We drove in through southern Minnesota and we were not seeing any birds. We arrived in town and checked into the hotel and still no birds in the area. I gave a call to Jason and asked him where the birds were as we were not hunting until the next day. Jason chuckled and told us to head 15 miles north out of town and take a left and then a right. Well as we were heading out of town we started to see a few birds and then about 10 miles north and over on some gravel road we found the area he was talking about. Holy Birds!! Jason had done his scouting and had a area holding a pile of birds. If I had to guess it was upwards of 30,000. They were resting on a nearby lake and feeding in some fields a few miles away.
Well we did not sleep very well that night! We had snow goose dreams. We met Jason in the parking lot of our hotel and followed him out to the field. We were in the decoys and set up before first light. Jason went over the rules and safety issues and then told us to get down as the birds were on there way.
The morning was full of groups of birds ranging from one bird all the way up to flocks over 5,000. I had never experienced a "tornado" of snows and had only seen it on T.V. Well it was an amazing thing to see. The birds slowly came in and started to land amongst the decoys. When Jason said "take um" it was a white wall of birds. I did the cardinal sin of waterfowling and shot my first three shots into the wall. After not connecting I slowed down and shot 2 birds with my remaining shells. The day eventually slowed down and the birds stopped flying until 3:30 or so and then we got into the evening hunt and worked a few birds. Our bag ended up being about 25 birds. This number could have been higher is we had shot a little better.
The last day of our 2 day hunt started with rain and chilly winds. Not ideal conditions for snow goose hunting. We bundled up and headed to the field. The rain seemed to stay with us all day and at times came down in buckets. The morning shoot started off a little slower with small bunches coming in and taking a look. We had 15 or so birds by 10:00. Not much happened until a quick sandwich in the field. I am still a believer in if there is no birds in the air, grab a sandwich and a pop and they will come. The rain had stopped and we took the moment of no rain to grab some lunch and sure enough just as we got ready to eat the birds started working. We goofed up a large flock of birds as they saw us trying to retreat to the blinds. Just as we got to the blinds another group came in on a mission and we took them at 15 yards!
That group was the last of the day. The rain came back and the birds stopped moving. We headed back to the hotel to clean the birds and have a cold one.
Overall the experience was second to none. The snow geese were awesome to hunt but the real fun of the whole deal was the other wildlife we were able to see. There was a small pond about 20 yards from us and at one time we had a fully mature drake pintail, gadwall and mallard just feet from us. We had roosters doing their mating dance in our decoys and deer running by at 40 yards. We also saw waves of pheasants that would get up in the field next to the one we were hunting.
We ended the trip with 46 snows and some great memories of South Dakota.
