Call Mike Franklin at Pacific Wings in Pasco or Richland WA. It is world class!

Try NorthFlight Waterfowl. I know lots of people who have gone with them and they are first class guys.

if you arent a member of these hunting forums, you should be. Lots of good guys can answer all sorts of questions about guides and hunting.

personally I would not go with Pacific Wings again. I have had great hunts with them but their outfit has degraded over the last few years. Billl saunders can really call though:)

If you want to travel south a ways I have a friend who does guided goose hunts. Look for him on Northwest Hunter this fall laugh

I agree with D3, skip Pacific Wings. They don't cater to the one time goose trip. They give their best fields and guides to their corporate clients.

Burbank Goose club shoots quick limits of mostly lessers but they can do a combo trip and hunt their duck pond in the afternoon. You're hard pressed to find a disappointed hunter after a trip with them.

If it were me though, I'd want to shoot big birds. You can check with Andy Clark at Hole in the Wall in Kennewick or look up Steve Schultz or Craig Riche in the Tri-Cities. All these guys can put you on birds.

Not much fishing yet this year. too busy around the house to get away at all. I did draw an any bull tag for the same area as you. only mine's for archery not rifle. I'm hoping to get up there and do a little scouting but right now the schedule's so full I'm just not sure what's going to happen. I've got a few ideas on where I've seen some good elk, but I would still love to spend at least a day or two hiking around those spots.

Have you been chasing those summer runs around Brewster at all?

Well just got back from Hunting today. North Flight waterfowl was the choice for us....and a GREAT one at that! Did get birds but still fairly light as no storms from canada pushed geese in. Those guys sure can call those birds in though!!! WHat a sight it was to see a grown man chase and jump on a goose to keep it from getting away! Our Guide, Josh is also quite the fisherman, he has gotten limits of silvers on the snohomish for the last 2 weeks, with his average about 12 including a few in the 20's, not to mention a 40 lb kind he landed under 522 on 10lb test. Pictuers and all. ANyway go with theses guys for hunting geese, they care, it shows and it is first class! Any day of the wek i would recomend these guys and hunt with them. infact November 1st and 2nd we are going again with hopefully some more geese! I also got my first goose. im hooked! IF you want some goose hunting theses guys are pros and are the best , and it shows!

I've hunting w/burbank and I have to say the number one guides are w/Eagle Lakes. You should check out their website, great place, and they also offer a brand new 1.5million dollar lodge. Its pretty awsome.
