Qwack is Wack - TIME IS NOW - Most Waterfowl, except the late season birds, should start bugging out by the end of next weekend (assuming weather forecast is somewhat accurate).

Essentials for Late Season Canada Goose Hunting

• Usually AT LEAST 3 dozen full bodies….early on you'd be surprised. Spread sizes normally get larger as the season goes on.

• Snow Covers on Layout Blinds

• I like a flag on a LONG pole

• Cluck & Moan Baby

• Scouting is Key - However, I've DESTROYED geese late season in traffic fields. Get in the flightline and let 'er buck!
