Default soybean or corn fields good for geese?

I am just wondering I am thinking of asking a local land owneracross the street frommethat rents their land out for farming if I can us the farm land for geese after the crop is done for the season. Right now my property is looking great for ducks but the because our wetlands are about 20 feet lower then fields and with the trees it makes it hard to get the geese down even with being about 400+ yards into the back of the property.

I just want to know if it is even worth asking about this. With this new idea I want to try and I am putting buying more decoys on hold till I know for sure what I hunting on.

i'd have to say corn. theres more stubble to hide in and the geese seem to like it way better. ive killed geese in a hayfield before though, and this weekend im huntin em in a sunflower patch. i guess it's just where you see the birds at. but id much rather hunt a corn field. good luck this year

Ok. The property will rotate crops so it changes from year to year but most of the time it is corn. I think this year it is all soy though.

Where we live geese will stage in soybean fields and maybe feed there for an evening or morning, but soybeans are very very unpredictable and unreliable to hunt.

Hunt it why not as long as you see birds in it somtimes the birds dont even want to go in the corn fiels they want the beans.

Don't forget recently harvested sod farms. Geese will walk through and pick out every root they can find.

Get up early and scope it out. If there are geese comming into feed, go for it!
