I have like 10 floaters.  I live up in Whatcom county if you want to pool resources for a hunt let me know.

Thanks for the offer, but I am taking a couple friends with me. We are just going to see what we can do with relatively few amount of decoys. Thanks again for all the offers from y'all.


So leave the duck decoys at home  :dunno:

It's going to be real hard to convince a DNR officer that you are not hunting ducks out of season with duck decoys in your spread, if this is only a goose hunt during goose season with no duck season in.  Just a thought.

It won’t be hard at all.  Duck decoys don’t equal duck hunting.

Duck decoys dont equal duck hunting, but sitting in the field with a gun, shells and duck decoys could cause some questioning by an officer. 
And sitting in a tree stand over bait with a gun in hand in a closed big game season does not equal hunting big game, but can be pretty hard to talk your way out of that.
I have been questioned by things in the field that I didnt think about before heading out and wish someone would have thrown out the idea to me.  I was just suggesting it to keep the peace, doesnt really matter to me. 
Personally I would not hunt duck decoys in my goose spread if I was only going after geese.  Not because of the above situation, but because I dont think it helps being the geeese in.

In my experience, even late season geese are way easier to call in than ducks.

Its very obvious you dont have much experience then  :tup:

I just see on the outdoor channels that a lot of times, they have duck decoys in their spread while they are goose hunting. I would think that the geese might like the ducks their because there would be more eyes to look for danger  :dunno:

I don't think the duck decoys will add anything to your spread.

I've never hunted geese, but have asked the question to my friends that do.  What they tell me is that if the geese want in, they will come in.

All I have to say is set up you decoy spread the way the real geese are in the field.  In a field or on water do what they do.  If there are ducks mixed in with the geese, throw some duck decoys in with the geese.  And most important be on the X.

Happy Hunting
