• teal migration highs and lows across states
• why northern Illinois stacks Canada geese
• freelancing vs booking outfitters in Saskatchewan
• border tips, currency, licenses, and zones
• daily setup flow, permissions, scouting cadence
• working with conservation officers and staying safe
• beginner goose kit: layouts, decoys, boots, layers
