Where and how to install your goose decoys

If you feel that your goose blind is looking very natural, then do not hesitate, install your goose decoys close to your blind. You will find pretty fast that your blind does or does not frighten the geese.

If the geese fly over your blind and go away after a couple of passes, then maybe your blind is to apparent so move the decoys a little farther from your blind, you will see what appends on the next pass. Geese tend to look at the decoys and if the blind is farther it won’t get their attention as much.

Placing the decoys in a u, j or x shape,well, try them. the closest decoys can be as close as 5 yards from your blind, the most important thing is to lets enough space between the decoys for the geese to land, they will land very close to you. Use the more natural looking decoys you can get, a few watchers and feeders. If you install too many watcher, this will mean danger for the geese. usually 50 to 60 decoys will do the job and no more than 7 or 8 watchers. Install the decoys facing the wind, that is how the geese will land. Try to place the decoys by group of 5 to 7 decoys so it looks as if they are grouped in families.You can place a few behind your blind also, but not to many, because you will have to turn 360 degrees to shoot, it will make you move much more and the geese will see you much easier. You may have to remove all decoys that are behind your blind, if your goose blind gets to much attention from the geese. Remember, the first rule to observe to have success at goose hunting is to make yourself INVISIBLE. If you find that the geese are nervous and go away, change your set up a bit, put the decoys a little farther from your blind remove a few or all those behind your blind, play with your decoy layout until you find the right set up.

Here is a picture of what your decoys setup should look like and the relative distance from it to your blind. Note also the size of the corn field. The size of the field makes the geese feel safe because they can see possible predators coming from far away.

But what if a big flock of geese land in another part of the field and all gather there? Then, you have two choices: first walk toward that part of the field, you will flush the geese, you can then install a scarecrow, then maybe you will have the chance that the next flock of geese will fly over your decoys.

Second, start from the beginning and set up your blind near that field . Or if it is to late in the morning, call it a day. That appends sometimes!

Remember, your decoys have to be clean, have you ever seen a dirty goose? I bet not, because geese are in the water most of the time and they always keep cleaning their feather. Your decoys should be the same get them here and install them properly
