Yeah, ponass has a good point, but not too many people in Wisconsin have a 12-13 dozen spread like us. I like to call it "running traffic." Imagine, geese fly around seeing 3-5 dozen all year, why not throw them something different. Late season they're all bunched up, we create a nice sized black blob in the middle of the fields for them to land with, seems to work very well. OUr last hunt this year we shot 8 out of the first three small flocks that came in, no hesitation at all. A lot of feeders and some shells seemed to help a lot too, made our flock look relaxed and intent on feeding.
Early season, 3-8 dozen, depending on the population of locals, broke up in family groups with a couple walkers that have just landed.
