RE: Illinois early goose
I did'nt think you have the early nusance season in the south, I think it's only in the norteast zone. We hunt in picked sweetcorn, and oats, it can be hard to get bird some years. This year there is alot of birds in the area. Your spread needs to be spead out more in this season, I've found, and they still seem to land out of the decoys somtimes.
