Hunting Geese

21Dec09

Hunting geese is about like hunting turkeys.  You first have to do some scouting to find where the geese like to eat and where they like to spend their time on the water.  Once you find out where they eat you can get to the spot early in the morning and put out your decoys.  Geese are a bird of habit.  If they are left alone they will continue to come to the same spot.  While I lived on the farm, I watched thousands of geese land in the milo field right across the road from us.  They would come in about eight in the morning and go out to water at about four in the afternoon.  If you don’t like the cold, goose hunting is not for you.  You will stand or set for hours waiting for the geese to come in, if they come in at all.

When the geese left they flew only about a half mile to a pond that they liked.  Again no one bothered them and they continued to do this for about three months.  Finally my cousin, my dad, my boy and myself went out one morning and stationed ourselves around the pond. We got there early and they were there.  As soon as the sun came up and they saw us they took the path that I anticipated that they would take and we had a good morning.  We each got our limit and we were only there for about an hour.  So if you do your homework and get lucky now and then you can get you a goose.
