Michigan Duck Hunting Here is a video of dad and I doing a very successful simple hunt. It reveals one of my top secrets to killing ducks in much pressured areas. During this hunt we take mallards, wood ducks, and Canada geese. This is some very close shooting at decoying birds. Team Eaton www.TagginOutHunting.com

Do not ever venture into sports hunting unless you are armed with a little basic knowledge about it! Especially where goose hunting is concerned, because the wily birds can prove too smart for a novice like you unless you learn how to outsmart them! There are plenty of goose hunting tips for you to pick up, but choose only the ones that you think will suit your style. After all, every tip cannot work for every situation!

Some tested and proven goose hunting tips are listed below–

(1) The Internet has online forums where members share goose hunting tips. Even better, you could become a member of a local hunting club. Quite a few of these clubs hand out information regarding not only their own areas but surrounding locations too. As an amateur hunter, you can even ask for a guide to be provided; the rates for services are reasonable. If they cannot provide guides themselves, these clubs can direct you to local guide services.

(2) In general, goose hunting tips are applicable to different locations and settings. Your task is to select those that meet your hunting requirements. Your major interest lies in getting educated about strategies so that you have a successful hunt.

(3) The area where you are planning to hunt should be thoroughly scouted in advance, say three to four days earlier. As a matter of fact, since it is your first time, take the help of a guide. This is considered to be one of the most significant goose hunting tips. Gather information about the different bodies of water which the birds are likely to use as a take off and landing platform, their regular movements and their feeding patterns and feeding fields.

(4) Blinds are popular equipment where goose hunting is concerned. Those keeping low and blending well with the surroundings (coloration and terrain) are a great choice! Oh yes, do ensure that the blinds are put up well before dawn. If the blinds are not set up properly, the geese are not even going to land in that area. They are quick to notice disturbances and anything that does not look familiar.

(5) Placement of decoys requires quite a bit of creativity, especially if it is the latter half of the season since the geese have by now become wise to all the tricks planned by the hunters! The best way to place them is in patterns of X, U or J. This sort of a “spread” aids in judging approximately how the geese will position themselves while feeding.

(6) Another of the goose hunting tips offered is regarding a goose caller. The birds use a variety of calls to communicate among themselves, concerning danger, feeding and flocking. A manual one has to be handled with expertise for the birds to believe that the calls are genuine. There are electronic callers on offer too, but you have to find out if they can be used or not. Hunting regulations in certain areas forbid their use, claiming that it is illegal.

(7) The last of the goose hunting tips is related to flags. Flags and their movements are meant to imitate these birds and their movements. The flags are generally gray or black in color. You have to perfect your own movements before you can even consider fooling an entire flock! An alternative is to use decoys with wing movements or decoys mounted on stands with spring attachments. When you see the flock moving towards you, just stand still!

For those of you unfamiliar with the sport, bow hunting is the practice of killing game animals such as birds and deer by archery. If you are interested in going hunting, there are a few things you should be aware of before you start. Your bow should have a draw weight of at least 50 pounds, and your arrow should be at least 900 grains. You also should become aware of what hunting restrictions are in place and when the season starts. If you are beginner it is best to get some experience shooting before you scout the woods or fields for prey. After you become confident in your abilities, it is time to put them to the test. Here a few tips to help you out.

Proper preparation is vital when bow hunting. When you practice archery, wear clothes similar to the ones you will be wearing when you go hunting. Wearing your gear or a heavy coat or sweatshirt will allow you to get a feel for having something on your arms. When hunting, it is recommended you use a compound bow, composite bow, or cross bow. Regardless of what bow you use, it is important to practice. If you are a beginner, it is important to become acquainted with your bow. Practice constantly and try to shoot from different angles and positions. The more comfortable you are with your bow, the better chance you have at successfully capturing your prey. In addition to wearing the right clothes and becoming acquainted with your bow, it is important you know how far you can shoot. If the farthest you can shoot is 50 feet, then it seems silly to aim for a target at 70 feet.

Positioning is very important when it comes to bow hunting. If you are upwind you probably won’t see any prey because they’ll have smelled you. If you stay downwind you are more likely to see more animals, but you will have to stalk them. This could be tricky, especially if you haven’t mastered the art of being quiet. This is why many hunters let their prey come to them. If you do use this method, it is important to remain still and quiet. If you alarm the animal then you will not be able to shoot it.

There is no guarantee of success when hunting. Some days the climate can affect your shot. Other times the animals don’t want to cooperate with you. Although these tips do not guarantee success, they can give you an edge while bow hunting. The better prepared you are for the field or woods, the better the odds are of successfully shooting your prey. Good luck.

Some bowhunting action from our “currently in the works” TV show. We’re hunting pheasants at The Gobbler’s Knob Pheasant Hunting Preserve in Pa. We practiced a bunch with the recurves and planned on taking some birds with stick and string, but with shotgun backup for missed birds. It’s definitely harder than the aireal disks that’s for sure.
