Hello,
I decided to try goose hunting recently. I have been trying for weeks on a friends property frequently. However I see other hunters getting geese nearby and I am getting shots off, but I am not getting anything. I wanted to post what I was doing and see if I am doing anything wrong.
I am using steel shot in a 12 gauge with a turkey choke, (My modified choke accidentally got sent to a relative in Utah when I sold my rifle, I will switch when I get it back,) I have many feeder decoys and one active decoy and I set them all 10 feet apart in a field, and I sit in my blind waiting. I do not use a call. When geese fly over, they seem to fly very low and pass over the decoys like they were not there. When they are in range and I do get a shot off, I miss. I think my choke is too tight.
That is what I am doing. I am switching chokes when I get my modified back. Other than that, is there anything I am doing wrong? Is there any way for me to improve?
Any help will be appreciated.
