I love waterfowl but seems good places to hunt them are hard to find.. Nd its annoying driving through the city of Columbus seeing all the banded geese just hang out lol
This describes it perfectly in indiana.Finding birds will with permission to set up on is definitely the hardest part. You can have the worlds greatest spread, and have the top 3 callers in the world in a blind, and if the birds don't want to be there, they wont work. Indiana is not one of the great waterfowl states in the US.
I got started with a group of buddies who had been doing it for years. Even they are starting to hand up their waders, and give up due to the lack of birds (far east side of the state). I've always said, if you waterfowl in Indiana, you ARE a hardcore waterfowl hunter. We spend weeks seeing the amount of birds someone from Illinois sees in an hour. For me its became more of a "I don't have anything else going on" type hunt than a "I have to get on this" type hunt. I bought used decoys, cheapest layout etc" and I'm still into the came for a pretty penny. The juice is definitely not worth the squeeze in my area, but its something to do outside of coyote hunt that time of year.
So I have geese that routinely fly over me………….. small yard not very clear but it is an opening. Think if I bought a few decoys and sat out there with a call I’d have any luck? I have no idea how geese operate. (I know only one way to find out and all that) just wanted to ask if it is a list cause I’d rather not sink the cash I know people set up in fields like that.
