Goose layout

[HUNTER2]

What's your favorite goose layout in the field? I just use a c pattern

[Benny]

I use the X pattern to cover any wind changes, also helps when the geese come in from an unanticipated direction.

Also use the drop em where they may pattern when on the sod fields.
After spending a few nights a week watching them land out there we decided there was no rime or reason to where they set in at.
Just depended on where they were coming from.


Saturday afternoon we set up a couple dozen GreenHead FFD's , sat there till 4 PM.
Decided to pull the plug and pick up everything.

As we were loading the decoys in the truck by the pallets the geese got up off a near by field and swarmed us.

We were standing out in the open next to our trucks and the pallet piles , no decoys out and they started dropping right in on the field we were at.

Ended up limiting out for three people with in one minute, man that was fun having three to four hundred geese all circling and letting the wind out of their winds right on top of us.

Wish I could have videoed that.

you have to use the row method...  when you see geese in a field, they are usually in rows on the path of the combine.

I still like the v pattern or fishhook pattern. I have killed many geese with these patterns.

welcome ghg...

all are good.  The main thing is scouting... see what the real geese are doing and set out your decoys in a pattern to mimic them.

[ghg]

I agree with you! Match what the birds are doing.

[Benny]

Welcome ghg, I some times use the J or the C depending on wind conditions and field layout.

Also use the toss them where they fall pattern as well
