Alright guys, not to hijack this thread but I have grown up on the east coast shooting nothing but canadians. I can tell with geese going over from the calls they are replying with what is not normal for me but honestly how do you guys tell the difference ( besides obvious size difference) between the dusky, canadians and cacklers. Sorry if its a stupid question but I haven't shot a goose here in four years out of fear of doing the wrong thing. Little help would be awesome. THX

I just took the goose ID test. I passed but I have to agree with nchaput, it seems near impossible to be 100% sure on goose ID. I guess like everything else it comes with experience.
