As long as Eric doesn't call we should be fine on the geese.

Ha. I picked up a few fields away from that group of birds, they might cooperate better. Damn Mose!

Bullshit, it is impossible to kill a goose in Eudora or the surrounding counties.

Surrounding areas and counties they are killable. We will be hunting water anyways.

Good. It's been a hot damn minute since I killed honkers over water.

We have a good number of honkers out this way.
Locals early and they are the hardest to hunt.
Migrators in mid December you still have to be in a decent spot but much easier to decoy.

Go hunt with Jarbo and Mose in kansas, bet you see a bunch of birds fly the exact opposite way when you call.

Well I'm not sure what you mean.
We kill them pretty good where ever we hunt and so far that's in several states.
Our locals are as tuff to get in as I've ever seem and most guys don't get them in, if I can say that with out sounding arrogant.
Never the less just so you know I'm not BSing you here are a couple pics.

I am just giving you a hard time leg band, we went out to kansas and hunted and against what Jarbo said we went field hunting for geese. Saw SEVERAL birds and when called to they did a 180 and left or didn't want anything to do with us at all.

Killed thousands of geese ourselves, but the local flock qs6 speaks of is a real bitch. Like you said, local birds that attract migrators. Can travek any direction and birds work good.

It's always the locals that give you fits.
Every year we watch the local flocks purposely fly around floating blinds on the lakes we hunt , at a safe distance to get where they are going.
They are very educated.
I have found if I can find where they are feeding in a unmolested field I can get two to four hunts before they won't work the spread.
But as soon as we limit we get out to avoid educating the ones that haven't been shot at.
Migrators are totally different fresh birds everyday and tree hugger dumb.

Love hunting migrators. Can't remember what a unmolested field is like, but what I do remember it was great. Smashed birds in this area good from the mid 90s to early 2000s, then everyone became a waterfowler. Was usual to see over a group of hunters per mile traveled in the river bottoms. Shooting birds that finish and getting out is a good way to get a few good hunts out of a field. When people shoot at everything that flies over, birds figure out which fields they are never hunted. I know of corn fields that were once great, that I haven't seen a bird in for over 8 years.
