forgot to mention that we used small white garbage bags as decoys! they were enough to draw the geese in to atleast have a look....the last goose shot was landing in amonst them...lol

Way to go guys! I've never hunted snow geese but I've heard the bags work well and I've heard guys use cotton diapers too (won't blow away as easily).

How's the different choke tube working out Danny? Notice any difference?

better...thanks for asking

Ex and i could hear the #2's hitting a few birds but nothing... the wind was off and on...I switched shells here and there to try things out.

I know what my down fall is...i stop to shoot when i'm leading. I'm working at it..lol

We perfer to use the plastic bags because it adds movement in the wind..can't wait to get out again!

man the PM's are going crazy...all good though!

don't use a call...let the bags do the drawing in...set them out in a 5ft sq radious about 8-12 bags. Blow them and hang them on a branch or long grass. We sit righ on the edge of them and not in the middle. A face mask is a must...gloves too if you have them. A tip if the birds seem to be flying to you and then de'tour around "you" your not well hidden enough. Make no sudden movements until its time to fire

as for invites...sorry guys this weekend i'm off mule deer hunting with Ex BC Guide and his dad, i'm taking them into my area to hunt
