12 NEBRASKAland • MARCH 2015

Keep these things in mind as you
snow goose hunt this spring:
•
Movement in the decoys – you're
trying to emulate thousands of geese,
so the more movement you can
introduce into the spread, the better.
•
Concealment – these geese have
been shot at for about six months,
they'll spot things and you need to
make sure your blind(s) are well
concealed or you're well hidden.
•
About 30 percent of snow geese
coming through Nebraska are blue
geese. I'd mix in a few into my spread.
•
Use full body decoys near the
"hole" where you want them to land.
•
Do something different. Again,
these geese have seen a lot of decoys
and heard a lot of calls. Try something
different or unique. ■
