Here is a list of suggested hunting gears and equipment for goose hunting.

This list of hunting gears is not exhaustive, and you can add whatever you find useful for your personal comfort. Let's start with the hunter himself and with the way to dress for goose hunting.

Underwear:
Good underwear is a must if you want to be warm and comfortable. Get the type that is two pieces and made out of synthetic material like Lycra or polyester so it lets the sweat out if you have to walk quite a distance to your hunting spot. Mohair is a natural fibre that will also evacuate perspiration and is very comfortable. If you do not like synthetic material, then, get comfortable mohair underwear. You will not freeze when sitting in your blind, inactive and waiting for the geese to come in. Do not use cotton, it will not let the sweat out and you will freeze. Check this online store, they have a good selection of underwear

Socks:
Thermal socks made out of synthetic material or mohair will give you maximum comfort.

Sweater:
A good warm sweater is essential, easy to take off in the field if it is too warm.

Boots:
Here, choose between a few types of boots. If you hunt where there is a lot of water or at low tide in the sand bank, then a knee high pair of rubber boots with removable inside felt is a must or maybe even waders are appropriate.But, if water is not a problem and you hunt mostly in dry cereal fields, a good pair of goretex insulated boots is the article. These boots are light, warm and waterproof. Selecting the right hunting gears will insure your comfort. Browse the hunting section of this online store. They have a wide selection of hunting gears

Camouflage suit:
As stated before, to have success at goose hunting, concealment is the keyword. The suit is of most importance. Go and shop for the best camo suit to fit the environment you are in. If you only do bird hunting, no need to have a camo suit that blocks scents. It will only cost you more money for nothing! But if you also do big game hunting and specially bow hunting, then consider a scent-blocking suit. It will also serve you at bird hunting. Do not forget to buy one that is waterproof.

Camouflage Hat:
Since our body looses 80% of its warmth by the head, it is a good idea to have a warm camouflage hat. Also get one that is waterproof.

Camouflage facemask:

Gloves:
Some people do not need gloves unless it is real cold outside. But when it is really cold, a good pair of waterproof camouflage gloves will be appreciated.Get the best hunting gears for yourself, do not be cheap, you will enjoy your hunt much more beeing comfortable. click here

Backpack and stool:

Goose Calls:
This is the item that is probably the most difficult hunting gear to choose. We suggest that you buy the flute type specially if you are new to calling. The flute type is easier to blow and after practising; you should be able to lure the geese to your decoys. Get a call that offers a cassette tape with instructions on the calling thecnics.

Goose decoys:
The more they look like the real thing , the more success you are bound to have. Some of them can be magnums, others be the moving types. Get a bag to carry them. Keep them clean.

Baseball bat:
What! We don't go play baseball? No but a small baseball bat can be useful to kill a wounded bird and stop it's suffering a Good blow on the head will stop the bird from suffering. This is not an essential hunting gear, but it will make your life easier.

Knife:
A good knife can be very useful and be considered as an essential hunting gear. Put one in your pocket.

Binoculars:
It is nice to have a good pair of binoculars , you will identify the geese from farther away. Click here for a good pair, they are small, easy to carry and have the most amazing definition.

Camera:
Even if it is not a hunting gear, digital cameras are more and more performant you can make outstanding pictures with a 4 or 5 megapixels digital camera.

Shotgun:
The ideal is a 10 gauge semi-auto shotgun, especially since lead shots have been banned. Most people use steel shots, because they are cheaper. But the steel shot is less powerful because of the relative density of steel as compared to lead. Using a 10 gauge shotgun will give you more power and more pellets per shot and a better chance to hit. The second best choice is a 12 gauge semi-auto. If you have to buy one get the model that accepts the 3/12 inch shot. It will give you close to the same power as the 10 gauge and you can use it at other bird hunt like Grouse. If you already own a pump shotgun, that is good although not as fast as a semi-auto. Forget altogether the over under or side by side shotgun. They are dangerous in a blind because they are a bit tricky to reload and only have 2 shots. Let alone the one shot shotgun! A shotgun is the most expensive hunting gear that you need. Make the right choice. Check this auction site, you may find worthwhile deals on shotguns
