We did our first guided hunt with Echternkamps a some years ago and it was great. Did a few more including one where Aaron made me so mad (lied to me) before the hunt the only reason we stayed was my hunting partner begged me not to drive off. I am not sure I would use them again.  >:(
We were over by Moses today and it is pretty frozen up. We would consider a hunt the week after Christmas with someone, but are pretty gun (pun) shy about using any guide at this point.  :yike:
Cuterebra are NOT cute!

If $$$ isn't a huge concern, you can't go wrong with any of these Eastside outfits:  Burbank, Pacific Wings, Eagle Lakes.  I have hunted with each multiple times in the past 5 years. 
I just posted video of a recent (Dec 10) Pacific Wings hunt on my blog that might give you an idea of what kind of action you'd be looking at:  http://ducksdogsdownriggers.blogspot.com/

Why not try walking in at Stillwater? I mean, if no one was shooting while the ducks were trying to roost the night before, and there aren't a bunch of sky busters, and people aren't walking in right at shooting time trying to jump shoot your decoys, you might see some birds. Probably not the volume of moses though. :twocents:

When we were in Potholes Saturday jump shooting we saw nothing except wings of ducks and geese WAY up. 'Bout eight inches of snow on the ground, so it was hard walking, hard on the dogs feet, hard to be quiet. I broke through ice twice with a foot plus jarring drop/stop below. Still fun to get out, but it is more fun to get into some birds.
