Are you going to be hunting over open water or on dry ground.

Go big......and hide good! Keep your decoys spread out so they look relaxed. Don't be so "symetrical" when setting them.....leave some holes and pockets.
These birds have been shot at plenty of times by now so they are pretty savy when it comes to making it through another day.

ha, you willing to travel to Johnson county? I will send you a PM when I get a chance i Invite me and I'll show you what to use!!! I doubt it. With the new job, looking for a house and potential move I am not going to make it out for Feb. season this year. Again! But seriously if I could make it I've got 2 extra field blinds and a few dozen full bodies and a few dozen shells if you ever need an extra shooter with gear  As far as what to use, it all depends on what you have available, what the birds are doing and so on so forth. I've never hunted the Feb season but I've hunted to the end of Jan. plenty of times to know that some days it takes every decoy you have and others you can get the job done with just a handfull. Weather conditions will probaly dictate most of what the birds are doing at that time. By the end of Jan and definately by the end of the Feb season some of the geese have already started to pair up. You should see more pairs flying around and setting by themselves in the field so take BSU's advice and put plenty of space between your dekes. I'd put a wad/cluster by your blinds to help hide your movement then bust out smaller groups giving the birds plenty of room to land in front of you. Of course wind to your back. Good luck |
