RE: Early goose season
Thanks for all the tips. The farmer said to take some fresh cut Alfalpha from the adjoining field and cover the blinds. What a guy!! I found a large dip in the field that has been wetter and is much greener, so we should blend in pretty good . I plan to put the decoy'supwind of the dip with the landing zone at the high point, behind us. This should put them at about 20 yards when they fly over us...
I dont think I could hunt the field edges as the geese are flying over some trees and diving into the middle of the field. This field is getting hammered , morning and evening, and they are coming about 20 at a time about 5 minutes apart. I stopped counting at 200 when I quit scouting and went to work this morning. No wonder the farmer wants them outta there. If we can shoot straight we should do well. I just wish Saturday would get here before they switch fields on me.
I am from Western New york and have modified my profile. Sorry about that...... Our season runs from Sept 1 - Sept 25, 8 birds per day.
Thanks again...Good luck and be safe
