Goose hunting season is here, which means it’s time to head back out and bring home some geese. Whether you have never been goose hunting before or you’ve been doing it for years, we’re here to help you get the most out of this season. Take advantage of the following tips and you can expect to have a goose hunting experience like never before.
One of the most important things you should do is bring along a variety of goose calls. Bringing at least two different styles is recommended, if not more. In the event that one of your calls isn’t working, you don’t want to be stuck for the rest of the day. Try a variety of calls and find out which ones work best for you.
Being able to stay still is another important tip. Geese scare easily, which is why no one in your group should make a move until a shot is called. Wearing face masks is always a smart idea, and certainly don’t be looking up frantically, trying to spot geese. If you see them, odds are they will see you.
Something that a lot of people don’t know is that geese behave differently when the temperature drops. Instead of their normal behavior, you can expect geese to lie down right after they land. You should mimic this behavior with your decoys in order to attract geese on a cold day.
These are just a few tips to help you get started this hunting season. Everyone has their own techniques that work for them, so don’t be afraid to experiment with new calls and decoys. Remember to keep checking back with Pluck a Duck for all of your goose hunting needs!
