Default new goose hunter

Want to start goose hunting but I don't have the $$$$ now for decoys. If I can hunt cut corn fields where I see them feeding on a daily basis do I need decoys to have a succcesful hunt??

You can try to ambush them but even 3-6 decoys is better than none!!!

Find some old tires cut them in half and throw them ut where you have ben seeing them and sit around the tires and atleast it will bring the geese to your location. Old timers used to use tires as decoys and i bet it may still work today.
