Default RE: Goose hunting, calling problems.

The problem isn't your calling (at least, I don't believe so.. but without hearing it... heck it might be). Nor is it your decoys.

The problem is your location.

You are hunting September geese. Resident birds. For 365 days of the year, these birds roost in the same place, fly to the same place and come back to the same place. They know every square inch of their environment. They know where geese are and geese are not. I have hunted with some EXTREMELY talented goose callers (I'm no slouch myself, but I wouldnt' call me talented) and no matter how good your decoys and calling, if you aren't ON THE X with resident birds, you aren't going to kill anything but time.

There are two ways to kill september geese: 1) be where they want to be, or 2) find their flight lines and hope they are at the tree tops... big shot... tight chokes. Personally, I only opt for #1... and if that isn't available... I go dove hunting.
