We're supposed to be up in the 40's for turkey-day, so it's gonna be a while before the hunting gets too good!
I work at a gun store and had one of the customers come in and try to consign his Benelli Nova and since that didn't work, he opted to sell that to me for a bargain price. Another customer is a trauma-surgeon and he loaned me about six, full-body goose decoys. My father-in-law also loaned me over a dozen duck decoys that I had to cut the old weights off and put new ones on, but I have all kinds of stuff that has fallen into my lap this season! I'm all equipped and ready to go, but I don't really know what I'm doing as of yet! I have all kinds of calls, but I read and hear that the best place for them is at home when I go hunting.
I live on a large parcel of land where hay is grown and I hear that hay fields are good places to set up for geese! Guess I'll have to try that in the near future too! The guy I bought the shotgun from is also going to loan me about a dozen goose decoys, the shell ones and I'll have around 18 to work with. I've been reading about how to set up that many and I think I've got it down!
Anyways, my season is just starting, but I'm looking forward to it since I didn't get much of a chance for any big game hunting this year! If anyone has any good duck and goose recipes, I'd love to try them out! Pointers too!! If you have any, I can always use the advice and the input!
JGUN wrote:My first bit of advice would be to take the guys with you that loaned you the decoys. They should be able to show you how to setup and potentially how to call. Also if you are hunting fields a layout blind could be really useful. Be sure to camo it up good. When you think you have enough add more.
