Geese are coming. Need answers. Updated!!!

I am going out for 4 days of the early season. Should be good. I have thrown in some duck decoys every once in a while during a full season and I don't really notice a difference to be honest. However, if there is a pond nearby to the field you are hunting, that seems to help both situations.

During the early season I strictly hunt fields and just having a good spread, concealment and not making to much movement is your best option.

The day was fun, but I didn't get anything. I did no scouting, but I found out I should have. The fields I was in had 8 ft. tall corn  I set up my decoys in a path between the corn just for the heck of it (I didn't have my boat with me or I would have gone to a lake). I had a teal and a dove fly over at first shooting light, and that was it. An hour and a half later I said screw so I packed up. I was walking back to my car, and all of the sudden "Honk! Honk!"  8 geese flew over me. A little later another  flock so I thought what the heck, I am going to call at them. They actually were turned towards me  They started to wander off so I called again, and they came back  I did that 2 more times, and they finally left after not seeing any decoys. I guess my calling isn't that bad after all  I kept hearing gun shots to the west of me so someone was doing well  Then another flock flew over me. I did see some awesome woodies so it wasn't a total waste of time  Kola had fun running through the corn rows chasing little birds, and little mice. She was more than happy to be back waterfowling.

I am going out tomorrow for the next four days... but all of the scouting I have done tells me they are not out on the fields until like 10am. Good luck.

I don't have a field to hunt till the farmer harvests his corn. I think that I will hunt the river tomorrow so i can throw a line in the water as well
