How to Hunt Resident and Flyway Geese

When you're hunting on the Eastern Shore for migrating flyway Canada geese, you'll be competing with many other hunters who want to take those same geese. I believe there’s strength in numbers when hunting geese, especially when you're hunting places with high hunter pressure. So, we’ll put out big spreads of 14- to 16-dozen decoys. Our spread will include full-body decoys, windsocks and silhouettes.

Should You Hunt Resident or Flyway Geese?

Maryland goose hunting is famous all over the country. Most of the hunters who come to Maryland to hunt geese hunt the Eastern Shore. The Eastern Shore geese are the Atlantic flyway geese. But on the western shore, there are a large number of resident geese, and they have very little hunting pressure. There are positives and negatives for hunting both sides of Maryland, and I’ll try to explain it to you the best I

Cory Dukehart Tells about Maryland’s Resident Geese

The history of Maryland goose hunting is really strange. Back in the late 1800s and early 1900s, Maryland was a hot bed for goose hunting. In those early days, waterfowl hunters believed that there was an endless supply of ducks and geese coming down the flyway. They believed the birds they shot every year were replaced with more birds the next year.

Half a Tree Can Be Worth More Than a Whole

Winter months offer a great time to do woods-work on your property. One of the techniques that pay off during this time of the year is hinge-cutting maples, poplar and other softwood species. Hinge-cutting refers to cutting partially through a tree and felling it or pushing it over so that it remains connected to the stump and root system. This becomes an immediate browse source for your herd.

Hunting Ducks and Geese of Maryland

Our duck season in Maryland starts in October, lasts about 1-1/2-weeks and then closes. It begins again in December and runs through the end of January. We shoot a lot of puddle ducks like mallards, pintails and black ducks. Black ducks are kind of special to our area up here on the Chesapeake Bay. Many waterfowlers west of Maryland don’t see numbers of black ducks, which resemble hen mallards.

Be Upfront With Land Brokers

They say honesty is the best policy, and nowhere is that more true than when it comes to selling land. Be honest with your land specialist for a successful sale. In order for your land broker to provide you with first-rate service, they need to know your property inside and out. However, the only way they can do that is if you're upfront with them from the get-go.

Getting Ready Season

I made it my business to run through a visual checklist of everything we either could not or would really rather not do without and ensure it was on the boat or truck before we left: Ice chests, ice, trotlines or trotline mending gear, trolling motor battery, fuel, bait, paddle, drain plug and life jackets. At one point or another we’d left one or more of these items at home, some of them more than

ProStaffer Mario Friendy: Snows to the South

We have very few snow geese coming through the portion of Oregon where I live. So when I want to hunt snow geese, I go to either southern Oregon or the areas around Sacramento, California. Weather determines how good or bad the snow goose hunting will be. If those areas have had lots of dry weather, we hunt dry grain fields and/or dry rice fields. If there’s a normal amount of rainfall, we hunt the

Howling Coyotes

For several years, all I ever used to call in coyotes were distress sounds such as rabbit or rodent in distress - anything that sounded like a meal for a coyote. I didn't realize what I was missing out on, until I began using actual coyote vocals. Recently, I have learned when and why to use coyote vocals.

I'd studied this buck's pattern for a couple of weeks, being extremely careful not to leave any scent in the wrong places. I'd selected a stand site where the dense underbrush funneled into a 40-yard-wide strip. I was sure this was where he would walk and I
