Please do not a pass shoot down or cross wind of anybody decoy hunting. I've had it happen before :evil: It really pisses of a guy off when you spend hours setting out decoys and ditch vermin sit down wind of your spread and pass shoot geese coming to my decoys. It ruins the hunt.
One of the main reasons Snows are so hard to decoy is becuase of the run and guns jump shooting the geese and not letting them rest. I've been 3/4 mile away from flocks in fields and as I was driving 30 mph they all got up at the sight of my truck--they were harassed that badly that they were so edgy anything spooks them. Compare to when I remember 15 years ago in ND, in the afternoon when you could not hunt, that you could park your truck 100 yds away from them and observe them to better understand how they come in, where to set up based on watching the real thing, take pictures, etc.. for an hour or more no problem----not anymore! All due to them being harassed by the run and guns :evil:
Can you tell I have no time for the them too lazy to buy decoys and set them out and field hunt? :lol:
