I am having a problem with my goose hunting. I am relatively a beginner but have everything I need: layout blinds that are cammoed in, 3 dozen full body decoys, descent calling, and flags. I am set up in a regular flight pattern but cannot get birds to land in my spread. This weekend on past morning I had at least 7 groups of 6-10 geese looking for a place to land and see something wrong with mine. I had 15 locked up and flared off. I understand the concepts of a decoy spread and not to call to much but I just don’t realize how I can get geese to finish. Do you have any suggestions?

When in doubt, it’s almost always the blinds. Do anything creative you can to get more hidden.

I agree. Make sure the laydowns aren’t casting any shadows. Also, remove any “hard edges” such as the bottom of the blind where it meets the ground. The color difference between the blind and the ground is usually fairly easy to detect, especially from overhead, and therefore the geese see a rectangle which, obviously, is unnatural. If the birds flaring was not a result of the blinds or human error (someone moving or looking up at the geese), I would look into the calling aspect and (re)familiarize yourself with all the different call sounds and when they’re used. You may come across another call sound you hadn’t used before, and you can add to that your arsenal to try on the next hunt.
