August 16th, 2010 — Gear and Equipment, Hunting
Thanks to the internet, now you can successfully buy just about anything including the types of hunting gear and outdoor equipment that you could ever possibly need, and you never need to leave your home in order for you to make this happen. The internet has quickly come an outstanding place for you to find some of the best hunting gear prices available, though you may initially be hesitant to spend money on hunting gear over the internet if you have not actually seen the desired items in person. With only a couple of simple steps, however, you can make purchases for the most sought after hunting equipment online and you can be confident in the decision that you have made as well.
The first step that you should be taking in this process is to hop onto the internet and begin to do some research. Let us say for example that you are looking for a brand new set of binoculars. You go to a search engine of your choosing such as Google.com and punch in an appropriate keyword, such as “binocular reviews” for example. Find a website that is reputable for your reviews, or if you are not sure about the reputation for a specific review site then what you can do is go to numerous different review sites to sort of average out what everyone is saying about the products that you are attempting to buy. If you read multiple different reviews on the product of your choice, you will get the best possible idea about what you are looking for. Once you know what product you should go for, you can better narrow down your search until you have one that you are adequately satisfied with.
Buying the right hunting gear can mean spending a pretty penny, and if you are going to be spending a lot of money on the right gear, then it is vitally important that you do choose the right gear, especially when it comes to online shopping when making returns is a little more difficult. You should know exactly what you are getting if you shop online. If you can, visit a local store to test the product out, to get a feel for its quality, its weight and other characteristics, and then try to find it online to see if you can get a better deal on the product of your choosing.
This is because finding the best pricing for the product you are looking for is important. You should be searching on websites like Froogle in order to see what different people are asking for the products that you seek in order to make sure that you get the best possible price. The more you shop around, the better the results will be, so make sure to use due diligence in searching for the best products at the best prices and you will surely enjoy your next hunting outing.

August 2nd, 2010 — Goose
One of the secrets to a great goose hunt is proper scouting. You need to really scout out the geese to find where they stay, where they go to feed and rest. Follow the signs and discover all of their spots before the season begins. That includes paying attention to their flight patterns and choosing the field that’s on the course. Make sure you know which direction the wind is traveling in. Geese land facing the wind, and flying against it. Knowing the direction the wind is blowing can help you figure out exactly how to spread out your decoys and where to hide.
Another secret of a great goose hunt is calling. This is the way to bag your limit or to completely drive the animals away from you. It’s necessary for you to be completely hidden from view before you start calling. You also need to have decoys out to attract the geese. In fact, if your decoys are good enough you may not need to call them at all.
The first thing to consider when goose calling is that you sound like the animals rather than make a call that’s louder longer than geese. Short and fairly soft sounds work best. If you’ve ever listened when people goose hunt, you’ll notice that most of them below on their caller too long and too loud as if in some sort of volume competition. Keep it soft and short just like a real goose or just rely on your decoys and your location. Overdoing the call will keep them from coming near.
You also need to make sure that the geese can’t see you. Duck and goose blinds are a popular way of achieving this and an even better way is to use the natural environment to hide. You don’t have to build a blind to do that, you simply have to find a natural spot where you’re hidden from view. Stay low when you’re on a flat area where there’s very little cover.
You need to use decoys for a good goose hunt. Use full body decoys whenever possible but when that’s not possible try shells and silhouettes. If money is an issue, these are good options too because they’re less expensive than full body decoys. They’re also easier to carry.
Dress in layers just for your comfort. It’s easier to add a layer to warm up than to have too many clothes on and get hot and sweaty. Be sure that the skin of your face and hands can’t easily be seen by the geese. Cover your hands in a way that won’t muffle the sound of your goose call if you use a call. This is why many hunters wear drab green paint on their hands and faces. It keeps the shine down and keeps the geese from seeing you without forcing you to wear a glove that can interfere in everything you do.
Finally, be sure you have permission to hunt wherever you are. Even if everyone hunts in a particular area, you may still need specific permission from the landowner to goose hunt there.
