RE: Canada Goose Hunting
You've got your work cut out for you:
I'd check around local sporting goods stores to see what kind of prices you can buy decoys for. These prices will more than likely be higher initially than internet companies but do not forget to factor in the Shipping and Handling charges and it may come out to really be a tad cheaper.
Make sure you have a goose call and you practice, practice, and practice some more.
You can also make your own black flag. That's not too difficult.
Canada Goose decoy numbers - I always tend to lean towards the theory of: "the more the merrier". If you are only in the market to buy a few decoys, make sure you at least get 1 dozen BigFoot Decoys. There are other fullbody decoys that may be cheaper but the BigFoots are the best decoys hands down.
Good luck and ask anymore questions you may have.
