Archery for Geese!

Do you have to get a different license than the normal waterfowl license? I want to try this!

Anyone selling any geese decoys?

A 50lb recurve can be a lot of fun with 2 dozen fluflu arrows.    I have taken a few geese down with them years back.

lol....
Well done.

BUT I have to ask... Why go through with all the trouble of decoys and camo?
If you wanted to shoot 'em off the ground.... then why not just go down to the park on a rainy day when no one is there, throw out some bread, then you'd have a ton of 5yd targets standing still. right?
lol....

Just saying, i'm sure everyone else was thinking it.

did you shoot that grouse in your avatar while it was flying with that scoped .22? or was it sitting still on a tree branch?
just saying 

if you can land them and manage a shot from a pit blind or layout blind with a compound bow, more power to ya. you already have a skill set that surpasses many on this board... it would have been a hell of a lot easier with a recurve.

[BiggLuke]

ha.

Yeah, Shot mine off the ground. Good point.
Im not saying I too wouldn't shoot a goose off the ground....
I was just saying that isn't the whole point off achery hunting waterfowl to shoot one out of the air?
I'm not an archery guy... but I can understand the excitement and challenge of taking one on the wing.
That's all.

I guess it's like those guys that hunt turkeys, it's a lot more satisfying calling one in right? Versus surprising a flock on the road with your truck then jumping out and slousing one at 10 feet next to your truck?

Course, back to your point... yes, shooting a grouse on the wing is much more exciting than shooting one in the neck right next to camp.  lol....

Hmmm..... deep thought.
The whole "Challange" versus "Getting Meat" view.

Trust me, shooting a wild goose on the ground is plenty challenging with a shotgun, let alone a bow.  KUDOS to the archer!
