I am interested in set up some goose magnets this fall along with the decoy's. Where is the best place to position them. (outside edge's ?) :?:

I'm not to much of a fan for goose magnets because of there reflection in the sun, but I like to set up my nice looking decoys near the landing zone. Some times if you cant get a good blind all set up my nicer decoys by me so I don't stick out as much. Good Hunting

I wasn't aware of their flaring problems. What part of the decoy is shiny?

My goose magnet I bought at Gander Mountain reflects sunlight off the chest in the morning.

What do you mean the chest? Isn't the chest of the decoy facing down???

I own a bunch of them and haven't been aware so I'm just curious.

As for the original question. Put them on outside edge. You can also put them here and there in the spread--it lookss like a goose stretching its wings and there is the movement to like a sock which isa bonus. For Canada geese--it is best not to mount them up high on poles, but 2' off ground when mixed in, or at most 5' off ground at outside edges.---It seems as if the geese will not commit all the way beacuse I think they are waiting for the magnets to land if the magnets are up in the air 10'.

Last year was our first try with goose magnets-we found quickly that you want to locate them on the upwind side of your spread-they don't seem willing to "overstep" the landing geese.
