Hey guys... I hope everyone did well this weekend. We did so so.

I'm taking a group of guys Thursday and Friday morning hunting and they have said several times that they would love to kill some geese. Well, I feel like I need to make sure I try to have the geese on us if all possible. With that being said, in your opinion, what type of goose dekes would you prefer to do the trick. Whichever kind it needs to be floaters as we hunting nothing but timber. Let me know where i can get em ordered....

Thanks.

i hope you are focused on geese if you plan on going thursday morning

Geese in the timber? better get some climbing stands and climb to the top and pass shoot them...


You wont kill any Snow geese in the timber, don't waste your money on decoys.

You know I use to think that but the last several years we have hammerd geese in one of our timber holes. I still prefer to hunt them over fields though, but it can be done in timber

Snow geese in timber seems REAL tough. However I wouldn't rule out Specks or Canadas just due to the fact that if you can call either well, they really respond well to the call. I have called and killed specks in several places I wouldn't have thought possible before just because the respond so well to a good call. However I don't think I'd go buy decoys for the occasion.

If you are killing geese you are not hunting true "timber." You may be hunting a brake that has a few trees on it or around it, but killing geese in true flooded timber is damn near impossible (besides the occasional tree topper)

deploy, never heard that one before. it sounds like they are using a parachute. try not to shoot the tops out of the trees, it reeks havoc on next years growth.

You wouldn't be another one of them da*m ole sky busters would ya?!?!?!?! I read stuff like this on here and it just pisses me off talking about shooting duck over the trees do whatever it takes to get them down!!!! That’s just un sportsman like and if you going to be like that STAY AT HOME AND PLAY VIDEO GAMES!!!PERIOD!!!! or are you hunting a 5-10 yr pine thicket bc all the flooded timber I ever hunted in the trees were WAY TO TALL to be shooting duck flying over!!! Don't get me wrong you could get lucky every now and then and kill one but when you in timber you can't see that bird go down if you cripple him 100yds out. And I know some of yall thank well it's just a duck well if you and every tom, dick, and harry do that every morning that's quite a few just a duck's!!

And far as a goose coming in a timber hole I have seen it with my own eyes quite a few times.
