Could you lure down geese to a small spread on a desert river? - 01/04/21 08:56 PM
Hello all,
I am new to goose hunting and don't know much besides what I can watch on youtube which is usually far from West Texas when filmed.
Does anyone have experience luring small flocks to small waters? The river (Rio Grande) south of the city follows along Ft Hancock and there are some public river access sites for bird hunting. Since there's agriculture around the sites being hunted, including several huge acres big reservoirs, would geese be keen on stopping into the riverside area ever? A specific time of day or condition that might tempt them?
I don't have much money to invest in a huge decoy spread, but could possible get a couple of dozen windosocks, silos, and a handful of shells of either Canada, White, or mixed.
Thoughts?
