Calling the geeseGood calling technics is probably the most difficult part of geese hunting. You will have to practice the differents calls, come back, feeder, excited feeder and the flock. You are a few miles from the river or lake where the geese rested for the night and suddenly you see a flock of geese flying far away. You already new that the geese would fly and head for the field they were in the day before, you have done your scouting so you are quite confident that you can lure the geese back to that field. That is when you start calling.When the geese are far away, you can also wave a black flag so it imitates geese flying nearby, geese see from far away and they will usually come by when you wave that flag. When they start coming, keep calling,do not flag to much or stop flagging altogether.But, the farther the geese are the louder the call, the closer, the smoother.

When they start circling around over your decoys, you can blow the exited feeding call Click here for a sample of the exited feeder call (wav 589 ko) or click here for the same sample of the exited feeder call (mp3 81ko) and the feeding call. But if they turn away, use the come back call, Click here for a sample of the come back call (wav 100 ko) or click here for a sample of the come back call (mp3 138 ko) when they turn again over your decoys use the exited or the feeder call.If the geese go away instead of landing in your decoys, maybe your calling technique is not up to par! Maybe you are calling too loud or to much, if the geese act like they want to land, let them come in, do not call to much. Good calling technique is probably the most difficult part of geese hunting, so get a good call, preferably with an audio tape explaining the technique of goose calling. Click here you have all kinds of calls, browse and get one with instruction tape a video tape is even better. If the geese go away, maybe they saw you or you moved or heard you talking, if they can ear the call, they also can ear you talking so keep the mute button on! (remember be completely motionless and hidden that is the main secret) or your decoys and layout have something wrong. Check that no decoy has been knocked down, if so, put it back on it’s feet right away, that is enough to frighten the geese When the geese go away, make little changes in your layout and check your decoys, maybe the decoys are to close to your blind. Your blind is too apparent and gets the geese’s attention, the geese see you and for sure they are afraid.. If you move the decoys a little farther from your blind, then the geese wont notice the blind as much and it may be easier to lure them to the decoys. If they go to another field nearby then maybe you will have to go there and flush the geese and place a scarecrow nearby, they will be afraid to go back to that field when they see the scarecrow and you may be able to lure them to your decoys. If that does not work, maybe it is time to consider moving your blind and decoys layout to another spot, or call it a day! But most of the time, your are going to have success and you will be able to lure the geese to your decoys. Once you have a few geese in the decoys, it is time to get up, the geese will do the same when they fly away here is your chance to harvest a few. Go and pick up the dead geese immediately because the geese are afraid of dead ones in the decoys. If you append to have the help of a good dog. It will be done faster and you will be ready for the next run sooner. TRY SEARCH IT!
