v-max 2 Posted December 27, 2007 Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 Went out this morning & set up with deeks by 8am.Im only 3-4miles from marsh & have seen hundreds of geese on fields 1/4mile from my ground.My field is on a flight line for geese going inland.Seen my first skein 30-40 geese & they came right in & i took 2 for 3 shots.Got a nice high single goose that came from no whare & got more odd skeins come in but only got 1 more & another that went down back towards my jeep 300-400m a way & got it on way back.I took some pics of more as i was happy with 5 pinks but could have easy had more.My call is a SCOTCH CALL & not a haydel but its very good. Had a wee game shoot on my ground with my Dad/brother & mate finished with 18pheasants & 1 redleg partridge. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

v-max 2 Posted January 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 (edited) Looks like iv broke the rule shottyscotty & proved it can be done then as it worked for me as it all i have.I cant aford any more & the very first skene of 30/40 came straight in & 3 landed before i started to shoot.I will admit i would like 15/25 deeks & my intention was that of pulling them close enough just for the shot & found they come well to my call even without deeks as i did with my brother & friend just before xmas they came from 1mile or so right over us & we got 3.
