Hey everyone, I'm an experienced elk hunter in Montana, but I've never had the chance to try goose or duck hunting. I'm planning a trip home and was wondering if I could squeeze in a snow goose hunt in South Dakota on my way back. Could anyone provide some information on: * When is the snow goose season typically in South Dakota? * Do you have any recommendations for outfitters that cater to beginners? * Do you have to use non-toxic shot for snow geese? * What's the daily limit for snow geese in South Dakota? * And finally, are snow geese good to eat? Any favorite recipes? Any advice or tips for a first-timer would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
