Cupwing Bio
Cupwing Outfitters is an outfitter service based in Council Bluffs, Iowa. Our guides have many years experience in hunting and fishing ventures of all types throughout the Midwest. We specialize in Snow Goose hunts, but we do guide waterfowl hunts of all types with an extremely high success rate.
We decided to start this venture because of our passion for hunting. For us, there is nothing like the expression on someone’s face after seeing Snow Geese by the THOUSANDS tornado down on top of them for the first time. We do occasionally get one complaint. In all seriousness, people sometimes complain their shoulders get sore. Or their shooting finger. These are fairly common. It’s just that people aren’t used to the number of shots they’ll take in a day. These are complaints we’ll take with a smile on our faces!
Snow Geese aren’t all we do, though it is our primary specialty. We also offer Fall duck and goose hunts from your choice of a boat blind or field blind.
We aren’t your prototypical outfitter. We have access to over 35,000 acres of privately owned land in Arkansas, Missouri and Kansas, hunting the best hilltops in feedline areas to provide the best hunt possible. We hunt 2 active fields every day, with 800 - 1500 full body decoys and up to 5 rotaries in each field.
Lead guide Shawn Holly has waterfowl hunted his entire life. At 45 years old, he’s got the experience and know-how to kill birds. Wind, weather conditions, migration conditions all factor in to making sure the decoys are set up properly. This is where Shawn’s expertise shine. We are ALWAYS set up for the birds to land in our face. That is the trick with Snow Geese. Seeing the flocks and getting them to fly over isn’t the challenge. The challenge is getting shots from 20 yards. That’s what we strive for and nearly always achieve. Shawn has a proven track record and has succeeded in every aspect of waterfowling. Shawn is also a professional fisherman, who has won numerous tournaments through the years.
