3 Secrets of Successful Goose Hunting - Outdoors - Hunting

To get the best results from a goose hunting expedition, you will need to learn all about geese and their behaviour. Once you understand this type of bird, you'll need to know what equipment is best for hunting geese in the wild. Often, geese will be found near big bodies of water, such as rivers, and these birds will be very sensitive to any changes to their environment - obviously, if geese sense you in their environment, they will be spooked and they will fly away, leaving your empty-handed. Therefore, there is plenty to think about as you begin to organize your goose hunting efforts. To help you learn more about goose hunting, we've compiled a list of the three biggest secrets of successful goose hunting:

How to Find Geese - Looking for a big body of water where geese might congregate is just the beginning. You should also look for bodies of water that may be close to grain fields. Geese like to eat corn, so corn fields near rivers are excellent locales for scouting geese and hunting the birds. Often, you'll require the permission of land owners, who may or may not let you hunt geese on their property. It's important to seek out all permissions before you head onto someone else's land with a Gun and a geese hunting blind. If you don't get permission, keep looking around until you find the right place. Performing a legal goose hunt is very important - don't break any rules, or you may be subject to penalties under the law.

How to Makea Hunting Blind- To hunt lots of juicy, tasty birds, you'll need to lurk unnoticed. The best way to stay under the radar is by hiding out in a geese hunting blind. These sorts of blinds are often available at hunting stores, and they are sort of like tents. Built in a square shape, from tough canvas with a camouflage look, these blinds blend into the natural environment. Sometimes, these blinds will also protect hunters from bugs while they sit and wait for the perfect goose hunting moment. To make your own, find camouflage fabric and attach it to metal rods, leaving a square flap you can look through (and shoot through). Typically, a goose hunting blind from an outdoor hobby shop will cost one hundred dollars or more. If you make your own, be sure to choose water-resistant or waterproof fabrics.

Know the Right Times to Hunt - If you're looking for Canada geese, be sure to limit your hunting times to spring and fall, as these are really the only seasons when these birds are ripe for the taking. Studying the migration periods of different types of geese can be an excellent way to enhance your knowledge. Nature programs on geese, or online documentaries, will also provide welcome information that can be used while you are hunting.

Make the most of your next goose hunting expedition by using these tips when you're out in the wild. By finding the best places to hunt, knowing the way geese congregate and react, and choosing the right seasons for hunting, you can be assured of a successful result.
