A good goose hunter north of me, (farm fields for miles on end) would have his two kids watch the fields in the morning and afternoon while on the school bus, and report back.
Then he'd get permission and set up the next day. He had a trailer load of full bodied goose decoys. Any geese within sight of the spread, would usually turn for a look and come in. Four guys would limit out usually by 11am. A lot of mallards would also flock in, so double limits were not unusual.
Scouting for feeding and rousting fields is very important for good goose hunts. I prefer to take them on the water while duck hunting....less work.
