Default Goose blind

I do a lot of goose hunting in cow and hay fields which are pretty hard to conceal yourself in. What we usually do is set up in a treeline along one the field edges. I know geese (and ducks) don't like landing near treelines, but it's not uncommon for us to have geese commit. I usually place my dekes about 25 yards out from the treeline. Any other tactics that might work in a hay field? What do you all do when hunting similar situations?

Your best bet in that situation is to buy one of those goose decoy chairs. If you cant do that, dig a little pit, enough to conceal yourself, and place decoys all around you. Just stay well concealed. If the hay field has hay bales in it, buy one of those hay bale blinds. I have one of the goose chairs and I have had geese almost land on my feet. It's pretty neat. If you do get a chair, your feet stick out, so cover them with another decoy. Good Luck.

In my experience as long as you match what you are layin on and DONT MOVE, that is all you really need. I hunt mostly corn stubble and hay field and have had no problems. I usually lay right in or just to the side of my decoys. Just be sure to blend in color wise and throw a little corn or hay over you. The most important thing is just dont move a muscle. One note---this is definetely not the most comfortable hunting so if you can afford a chair by all means do so.
