GEESE NOT LANDING IN MY FEILDS ??

Thanks for the reply's, We have 9 dozen shell and we were trying to flag them in just about everytime, we did have some luck getting a few to come within gun range and we did manage to get 1 on a couple differant accasions, so we are getting better, and man is it fun, we are die hard deer hunters that want to continue our hunting season, gun season ends rite when goose season starts, we all have made the initial investment in buying avery blinds so we are covered or hidden well, ( at least I am) dont know if anyone is moving or looking around causing to spook the birds ? the feilds are in the fly zone of the birds and I know they can see our setup, I just want some more advise on what to do to draw them in more easily, what type of setup is best ??? :?: Should we set the set up like a horse shoe or does the circle work best, any advise would be great, Should just one person call or more than one person call ? thanks again.......

First, is your field you are hunting between the roost and the field they are landing in? Try to get between those (in their flight path). Second, are you blinds camod to match the field you are hunting? Get them to blend in. Third, try putting your decoys in an X pattern, make family groups and spread the groups out between them. This will give the birds plenty of spaces for landing areas. Fourth, sometimes I find that one person calling is best, listen to the flock when they answer you. Sometimes it is only one honking back, so I like to talk to that goose. If alot are honking when coming in, more calers calling. Sometimes they get call shy and it is best to call very little, just enought to keep them coming in and no more.

Hope this has helped you out a little SIRAPALOT

Thats very true the stalks are cut a lil high and the birds seem to be going to the other feilds, but they never land in these feilds, unless we draw them to it, we have managed to do so more than a few occasions using decoys ofcourse, I think that one of my hunting buds is poping his head out and watching them while there in flight and showing them his eyes and face, keeping the birds from landing, he is newer to this than I am and I keep telling him not to do that, then I ask him to put stalks of corn on his blind because the straps are made for that purpose and he replyed by saying his blind was camoflouged enough and it wouldnt matter, well I am done hunting with him atleast as far as goose hunting is concerned... I will try again this weekend with only myself and one other to see what kind of damage we can do !!!!!!!
