Goose Guide Needed - East Side

Phil Layer · 11-14-2002, 04:44 AM

Does anyone know of a good goose guide on the east side (Maupin to Hermiston area)?

Thanks in advance.

Try Dave Smith at www.cochranandsmith.com

Rauly, is that the same guy as the Oregon Waterfowl guy? He wore a sweatshirt during the calling contest. The judges said the best goose callers in the nation are from the NW. If it is who I am thinking of, he may not need dekes. He was that good.

That's Him

I should book a spring trip with him. I was at the festival with a bud who is a goose guide. When Dave got done with his routine, all Mike could say was "Jeez". Quite the compliment from a pro.
Mark and the dog who wishes I could honk like Dave.

Thanks much all.

I'm lining a hunt up with a Dave Smith (Brad's partner) as he will be out of town that week.

Hey Warren! What's your email?

I hunted with Dave Smith and his goose calling buddies on Saturday. It was an experience I don't expect to top in the near future. Dave is a goose calling fool, able to turn giant flocks from tremendous distances.

I shot my limit and my buddy got his too.

If you get the chance, do a hunt with Dave.

Thanks again for the recommendation.

moby, what did he charge?

Phil Layer · 12-02-2002, 05:58 PM

He charges $200. For me, it was worth every penny.

Moby
You wacked and stacked'em with him on Friday and then he was at North River Marine Saturday giving a seminar with 3 of his friends that was awsome.
