"One important factor for everybody in the blind is to keep perfectly still-no movement until the shot is called. Stay still, keep your head down, and don't gawk That doesn't mean you have to call more, but when you do call, use aggressive notes and blow them with a lot of volume." -Scott Threinen, Rochester, MinnesotaĤ. Geese will always look to get out of the wind when it's blowing. To prevent this from happening, set up out of the wind-in low areas of fields, behind tree lines, or on hillsides. "Finishing Canada geese on windy days can be a challenge because they will usually land short and out of the wind. Finishing geese on windy days may require adjustments Keep these tools at hand and be prepared in the field for the different conditions you may face." -Fred Zink, Port Clinton, Ohioģ. Keep one thing in mind: you can blow a loud call soft, but you can't blow a soft call loud. These calls complement each other for different hunting and weather conditions. I would also recommend having one wood short-reed goose call that produces a softer, deeper, and more realistic sound. I would choose one acrylic short-reed goose call that produces a very loud, sharp, and somewhat high-pitched tone for field and windy day calling. "When selecting your goose calls, I recommend choosing two different styles of calls.
Have more than one style of goose call at hand Today I put my decoys five large steps apart and the results are even better." -Sean Mann, Trappe, MarylandĢ.
That immediately produced dramatically better results. Ten years ago, I started spreading my decoys two large steps apart, approximately six feet. So, logically speaking, there is enough space between birds. That is, they are landing inside a group of geese, not in a large opening between groups. I've never seen geese get tangled on takeoff or landing, and I often watch geese landing with geese. Even small Canada geese have a four-foot wingspan big birds up to six feet. I constantly see guys put decoys practically on top of each other and watch the birds hover and not finish because there wasn't enough room to land. They all work! But they all work better when you spread the decoys out. "I have used everything from 'shoveled-dirt' decoys to mounted birds. But keep in mind that sometimes the smallest details pay the biggest dividends. Some of these tips may serve as reminders. We asked a dozen of the nation's most accomplished goose hunters to share their secrets to success. During such outings it seems that no matter what you do, the geese refuse to respond favorably. Whether you're a casual goose gunner or a die-hard veteran, there's a good chance you have experienced days afield that end in frustration.
