    Question alternative to layout ideas

    I just got permission on a new field with tons of geese using it for the heritage day shoot, unfortunatly they are in the middle of the field in knee deep green grass. I dont have a layout because I usually hunt the edges of corn fields so this is new territory for me, Can anyone reccomend something I can use to stay hidden with a low profile such as a homemade layout blind or something similar,

    Thanks,
    B&D

    Burlap with freshly cut green grass zap strapped to it. Cheap.
    1st Im in charge, and if not Matt is. Your job is to sign checks, tell us we're doing good and open your case of scotch after a good day. 2nd my fee. You can keep it, all I want in exchange for my service is the right to hunt all the drakes. A male. Buck only. Why and how are my business. If you don't like it, go alone. Set up right here or in a swamp or in the middle of a noshoot field for all I care. I've been on too many duck hunts with rich dentists to listen to any more suicidal ideas. Ok?

    I concure whole heartedly, We have used it and in a fresh green feeld it really works. However you may want to pick up a small camo tarp to lay on dew's pretty heavy these days.

    thanks for the input guys, I have a green lawn chair cushion I could lay on and just picked up some green felt from a sewing shop, im gonna cut a few parallell strips through it to weave some natural veg into it and hopefully it will look pretty good, lots of geese there so hopefully a few will bite!
