I was just goose hunting on a property that had some cattle on Friday. I wonder if we could train a couple up.

I have not had the opportunity to try it for waterfowl, but have for hogs a few times. Maybe the use of real ones in Texas is the origin for the use of silhouette cow decoys for geese. https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/9027113/ ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2025/02/full-1680-444301-full_1680_416999_1000002843.jpg)

I've done it to sneak up on snow geese during the conservation season. It was not fun walking 200+ yards hunched behind that thing carrying it and a shotgun but I think the 2 of us shot 12 or so birds once we dropped the board.

Now I've ordered a Montana Decoy Big Red Cow decoy for my upcoming hog hunting trip. I've got a Stoeger Coach gun cut down like Mad Max (legally of course). I want to see if I can get close enough to kill a hog with a load of buckshot. I'll have my son backing me up with a rifle on the other side of the decoy. I'll try the decoy on geese next year.
