Any fields with geese in them is a good start. Get permission and giver. The further east ya go. The hotter the action.

The county map is full of names of farmers that will let you hunt their properties.

I guess this would be as fitting as anything else



P.S. Pretty sure Bob Newton had answered your question as best as anyone could.

Don, I don't hunt spring geese, so I can't help you there (except that the bulk of Snow Goose migration is through SK, so try to get somewhere close to the border). I can explain what you're seeing so far on your thread. Guys who are hunting spring geese have already put a lot of miles on their trucks looking for fields, a lot of time and effort looking up and going to talk to landowners, etc. There is a sentiment that guys who come on to the forum specifically to ask for names of landowners (and without having done this work for themselves) are, for lack of a more PC term, freeloaders. I'm not trying to be accusatory...just explaining why you may not be getting the responses you expected.
I think the expectation that one does one's own legwork is a fair one.
