Holiday Goose Hunting

If there is anything better than a watchin big Canada Geese circle your blind, Ive not found it.
We are blessed here in the Midwest to have huge numbers of these majestic flyers and getting the opportunity to try and convince them to drop into a spread of decoys is my way of spending time outdoors.
During the holiday season is the prime time for goose hunting. Normally, by now the migration has begun and numbers of geese are heading south.
Watch the skies in early November and you should start seeing the first arrivals. Drag out those decoys or get to the store and pick up a few. Find that old call your wife hates to hear and get the camo out of the attic...its goose season!
Now most people think you have to hunt a refuge or a big lake in order to bag geese. Thats not always the case. I like a smaller concentrated area that draws smaller groups of geese. They are far more easier to call in and you're not shooting into a huge bunch. This can be confusing and it seems you are shooting at the group and not singling out one goose.
You wont be successful everytime out but with a few decoys and good call you'll be having the time of your life watching these beautiful birds work their way down towards you.
I love this time of year and I hope you get the chance to experience waterfowling soon.

Never Too Late To Learn Bow Hunting

Me, a Bow Hunter?

Who'd a thunk it! Later on this season I'll continue the series (Never Too Late To Learn) of my quest to become a bow hunter.
This year is going to be exciting, confusing, and fun. For all you guys that have never tried to bow hunt, you'll get the opportunity to watch a true beginner. It will be more different than other how-to videos because, you that want to learn will get the chance to watch what its like to actually see a hunter fullfill his dream to become an accomplished archer.
It'll be a crazy ride but I think once you see how simple it is to learn, you too may want to start your own quest to become a bow hunter.
Shooting a bow has never been easier. The equipment is the best its ever been and once you get your bow set up, you can almost immediately become a decent archer.
If your wanting to get started in this great sport or looking to upgrade your equipment, check out the sponsors that will make this series possible and see all they have to offer.
Keep up with my progress and compare yours to mine. For the already accomplished, maybe I can remind you of all you went through during your quest.
We'll see how it all works out and let me know what you think and feel free to give me some tips.
