The serious hunter knows that keeping your shotgun in perfect working order is a small part of being prepared for the goose hunting season. In order to attract the geese to your blind within shooting range, you need to have a spread of Snow goose decoys and a lot of experience in setting them up or plenty of dumb luck. Most hunters also come prepared with bird calls, although they do not always use these.
Most of the decoys you set out will just be floating or sitting still, but you also need sentries and other specialty goose decoys, plus different sizes of decoys to make it look more realistic. The decoys are in different positions and some are just hollow, lightweight shells, while others float and are weighted to keep them upright, and still others are capable of having you move different parts of their body, so you can attract the birds overhead. They also have “flags” which are on a long pole, so they can wave their wings slightly to attract attention.
The way you set up your snow goose decoys depends on whether it is early season, mid season, etc. The size of the blind can also be a factor in the amount of decoys you set out, as part of their job is to disguise the blind. You need to make it look like your decoys would welcome the “other” geese joining them, which is why the decoys that move can really help. The bird calls can help also, but you have to be careful with them as the wrong sound could be telling the geese to stay away.
Decoys are a huge investment because you need more than four or five and they have to be a variety of types, so first get a training book or video and study it, and then ask for advice on what to buy. The real successful hunters have been studying geese for years and most of them are more than happy to help a newcomer. You might also see if any of your friends have decoys and just buy the ones you are missing to get started and then add some each year.
