The History of
Northern Skies Outfitters

Let me begin by introducing myself:

My name is Mat Schauer, the owner of Northern Skies Outfitter Service. I have been an avid snow goose hunter since the conservation order season began in 1999 and a die hard waterfowl hunter for many years before that. I have been guiding snow goose hunts since 2004.

I started this guide service because I wanted to share my passion for snow goose hunting with others. There is no other waterfowl that decoys like a snow goose, and a day spent in the right decoy spread will never be forgotten. I have a great respect for these birds and their intelligence. I consider myself a lifelong student of snow goose hunting, and believe there is always room for improvement.

I approach every new group of hunters as if they were close friends, and look forward to trading hunting stories and tactics. I cherish the experience of getting our youth involved in the outdoors, and I encourage you to bring them with on your hunt because they are the future of our shooting sports.

You will find our guides to be very knowledgeable in all types of waterfowl hunting and very eager to share stories and advice. We are proud of the number of friendly faces who continue to come back to hunt with us season after season. We believe it speaks to our experience, quality, efforts, skill and ability to deliver. Won’t you join us on our next hunt?
