I use that term loosely! :lol: A guide would open the blind doors and retrieve the birds for his "clients". Neither of those happened! :lol: :lol:

the "reaper or X facor" by Lynch mob calls are great calls for these little birds also. very short call. high pitched and loud

I pulled a lone honker out of a group of lessers this year, but the lessers didn't want anything to do with us. They don't flare, they just want to be somewhere else.

i took a trip up to south dakota with my dad and had both honkers and cacklers moving around for the little ones there were numerous "nick names" flying around the blinds to express there frustrations with them but for the little guys we set our decoys really close together they seem to want to land almost land on top of each other we watched a group in the middle of town and i saw birds literally landing on top of each other we would set up the decoys close together of farther away depending on what was flying that day just my 2 cents worth (i am a beginner waterfowler "young and dumb :lol: )

I have very limited experience with them, but have decoyed them when I used my Primos shaved reed canada call-very easy to blow, cheap, and high pitched

Thanks for all the tips and for sharing your frustrations. I was thinking we were doing something wrong but it appears as if you must do everything right to get them to decoy.

Will definitely try some of the tips and let you know how they work once goose season starts up again in the IL Central.
