Where to scout and search to find and locate the Canada geese

The first place that you should scout and search to find and locate the geese is where the Canada geese will find a large enough body of water.That is where the Canada geese will tend to go and rest, mostly during the night away from predators.

But the geese also search for food, so you also have to scout and search to find and locate the Canada geese when they look for food. The geese need to eat quite a bit to build up energy for the rest of their migration. Look for nearby corn and cereal fields that have been harvested most of the time 4 or 5 miles away from the body of water, check where the geese go. That is were you should install your blind and decoys. But remember that they can go much farther. Click here for blinds, blind material and decoys

Note that over their migration, the geese will move from one area to the other, sometimes quite far away from one another, they may also travel quite a distance during a day for food and come back to their water rest area at night.

You will have to rely on a few farmers who are willing to scout for you and let you hunt on their land. Usually, when the geese adopt a field, they will come back to the same place for many days.

Lets say you found their garde-manger (feeding area) where there is lots of food, that is the place to be early in the morning. The land needs to be large enough so that the geese feel safe when they land. they like to see predators coming from far away.

Keep a large area of the land as a sanctuary, where you will not hunt, the geese will know after a while and come back there. From day to day, change the location of your blind so that you can foul them easier to the decoys.

Don’t go hunting day after day on the same land, the geese will learn very quickly that even if there is good food the place is dangerous. Instead let pass a few days before coming back to that field, you will have better success.
