I tried this a few times this last season in front of my house. I put 4-6 Bigfoot decoys out with one or two standing in the water. The geese would swim only so close and wouldn’t come in the rest of the way. I think it is because they had too much time swimming over to see that the decoys were not moving. I got some floating decoys for Christmas hopefully that will help.

Has anyone else had this problem or are floating decoys a must for hunting on water? Would you still put a few full bodies out or only use the floaters?

Thanks
