Lots of decoy questions lately...gearing up.
I'm hoping to get out to the Pitt Polder for some geese this season. I don't have any goose decoys yet - any thoughts on how many are needed? Those things are expensive, so a couple of dozen floaters ain't gonna happen!
Thanks,

The more the better we set from 4 doz up over here and I dont see the Poldergeese being all that diffrent.

Wow, that's a lot of goose decoys! I wonder if the sonotube homemade decoys could be adapted to float?Originally Posted by Foxton Gundogs

Depending on what you see flying around I set 6 to 36 based on the flocks

We hunt the Polder quite regularly and always use a minimum of 18 in our spread.

Thanks for all the help - it looks like I'll have to start a collection. Six this year, six the next. I could get my first by 2014!
pnbrock, it's a good piece North-east of you. Google maps will show it if you search for Pitt Polder Ecological Reserve. It's got restricted shooting times - check with the Fraser Valley Special Area map for the allowed areas and times.

I grew up hunting the Polder, back in those days if you even heard of someone getting a shot AT a goose sometime during the season it was big news. That was when we started coining the term "Poldergeese" as we were convinced they were evil spirits that every one heard about but no one ever saw. If we managed a mallard or two it was a good YEAR. Man how times have changed don't let the antis say we are depleating our wildlife resources.

I havent shot the polder in decades but there are a bunch of canals, ditches sloughs and a huge slough on the other side of the dyke from Pitt Lake again it's been years so I'm sure some one will give you more current info
