In my personal opinion it’s always nice putting in socks as well as full body’s with the silhouettes. So when the geese go over they can still see the decoys. Silhouettes are cheap and work wonders!
OMG SOMEBODY FINALLY DID IT! do some research on how a duck or goose vision works. Really awesome perspective. NO TRAILER NEEDED. Y BOARDS MAKE SET UP AND ADJUSTMENT EVEN FASTER. I'll subscribe. you and Steve Nunz got the silhouette action figured out.
Lot of haters on here. Surprising how many people on here have the money for 6-12 dozen full body goose decoys. (10 dozen silhouettes will run $600). Also, that have unfettered access to drive into every field. Never face plowing or muddy conditions that prevent driving in. Oh and probably havent hunted over silhouettes let alone large spreads of them.
The shadows play big factor. I've experienced it first hand this hunting season that if its super overcast and they don't have shadows definitely avoid using just silos, but maybe having a 50/50 blend of FB or shells w them would work or even socks. But If all you have is silos and its pure overcast expect the geese to start to side drift away from the deeks as they get closer if they're higher than 35-40 yrds up. Seemed once they got inside of 70 yrds is when they would start to side skirt away from our deek spread.
Been running my dive bombs and storing and transporting them in plastic totes trying to save a buck on bags... are the bags that divebomb makes worth 55 bucks or make the transport that much easier that it’s worth investing in them?
Silos & wind socks by themselves dont work in my area for honkers, nor do any of the motion honker decoys. If we use them they are just for fillers. Fullbodys & lessers seem to be the only deeks or honkers will commit to, our honkers are very decoy shy. But nice video, I envy the guys that can get away with just using silos.
I dont think a goose could tell the difference there pretty dumb but the thing geese don't like is presentation into the sunlight they don't really like approaching on the non shadow side of any decoy. So you would be hunting with the sun to your back. And coving up so that you are not visible from the sunny side is the key. I have noticed that geese hate moving from the sunny side into decoys. Where there shadows would be in frount of them. I think its a predator response.
I use both and it works perfectly and put a couple of shells they work amazing

I'm still a full body guy but they are great to fill in pockets but I use shells for that
Ha ha.. a PETA ad before this video is classic.. Don't kill canada geese or coyotes... yeah, right.. SMOKE EM!
You might have said it in the video and I missed it but how many dozen did u put out?

👍
How far apart do you usually set them?

see how the decoys are light and dark with the sun beating on them.... birds flare almost every time on sunny days
Did u ever get the time to run them on a cloudy day
