2015年8月1日 · Initially the patterns were tight, but then I started using an x-spreader and was able to get the gun to pattern nicely. I was trying to keep the recoil very light so I went with 1/2 ounce of 8.5 shot. I prefer to use #7 TSS for geese, but with only 1/2 ounce of payload, I decided to use #8.5 to get more pellet count.

2013年11月3日 · #4 is used by many Far North guides for geese, especially around Hudson Bay. They claim it slips in under the feathers and does not bounce off like larger shot and gives more head and neck wounds that usually result in quick kills. In a 1 1/4 ounce typical load, 4 has 100 more pellets than 2, now that is something to ponder.

2015年2月11日 · The geese in areas I hunt start out in September in the winter wheat stubble, pastures, and golf courses. The first corn fields they use are usually chopped silage fields. Once corn is combined and it gets cold the geese will move into those fields.

2008年12月16日 · Windsocks have been used to hunt geese out of fields for a long time. These goose decoys operate the best with around a 10 mph wind and are used almost exclusively for snow geese. Snow geese feed through fields very quickly, therefore the walking motion the wind creates in the socks makes the decoys look real.

2014年8月19日 · I shoot 3" 1.25 ounce BB's on geese, #2 on big ducks, and sometimes #1's where I know I will be killing geese and ducks. In early teal or on wood duck potholes I will shot 2.75" #4 steel. CRP was responsible for 25.7 million additional ducks produced in the U.S. Prairie Pothole Region during 1992-2003.

2010年2月4日 · There are seven different sub-species of canada geese. In NW Oregon, hunters are required to study and pass a test in order to hunt canada geese to avoid shooting the dusky sub-species. Attached is a link to the study guide used in Oregon with great information on each of the sub-species and how to identify the differences. Hope this helps.

2012年11月29日 · Are you shooting them at 15 yards, 25 yards, 35 yards, 45 yards or 50+? I've seen guys put their spread out with the farthest decoys 40 yards then take the birds at 45. These guys are still hunting "over decoys". Then I've also seen guys put out a huge goose spread 60 yards X 60 yards then shoot the geese when they fly within range off either side.

2020年5月20日 · For dedicated geese - SP-10 all the way with a Federal hull 1.5 ounce load from the late great BT Justice in T. Might not be a 100-yard load but certainly lethal dead-right-there at 60 if I put the pattern on them.

2014年7月28日 · We run about a dozen floaters and up to 3 dozen Real-Geese sillos. The results have been much better than when using floaters alone. Instead of looking at it as some decoys disappear to the birds as they circle overhead, think of it as an optical illusion style motion decoy.
