I mainly field hunt geese, due in large part to my not having a boat and just getting into it. I set up my decoys in the family group loose X formation I have read about. I think 80% of my problem is that I hunt in the afternoons. For example today shooting hours ended at 4:15 and I watched two flocks fly over my position at around 4:25. I have been attempting to call for a while and my goal is to get the flock to give my spread a second look.
I am mindful of the wind, and cover. A friend of mine claims afternoon goose is just as good as morning. Any truth to it? I guess my main problem is that I am getting beat down by not seeing any geese, or only seeing them after shooting hours end. I have shot one this year and have went out around 20 times. Now I fear that a snow storm will force the geese further south thus ending the season.
