must have lost a posting, I will try to be brief. The big bird decoys got to be too small for my partner and I over the years as we grew in size. also on the negative side , the action of the bombay doors opening flared the birds and presented more difficult shots. The final approach that you use now can be camoed up with vegetation or grasses from a flower shop woven and attached to match anybackground. I still believe that professional level calling and good shooting will make more difference than blinds. Good calling has made canada geese look for me in parking lots, backyards etc at least close enough for a clean shot and by the way the Hevi Shot from Remington is real close to lead. 10 years ago more or less some friends of mine who were commercial goose hunters in Maryland, moved their operations to the finger lakes area . Is that where you are hunting? They were using huge spreads of decoys,great callers, and flagging with great results. This was when the eastern shore was all but closed for geese . I have seen the results of great calling and especially mutiple good callers and you get to that level just like the locals give directions to Carnegie Hall, PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE. ROD
