There is much to be said about the type of equipment a goose hunter utilizes to help him have a successful hunt.  Goose decoys can be a great asset to any hunter if he know which types to buy and how to use each for his advantage in the hunt.  Professional hunters should get to know the companies who produce the brand products they need to enable them to not only get the best value for their money but help them get the best results.

There are many types of decoys on the market today for hunters to choose from depending on the kind of hunting they are doing.  The full bodied goose decoys are popular with many hunters due to their realistic construction which is successful in attracting live geese.  There are quite a few quality brand names of this model to choose from to include Big Foot, GHG and Flambeau.  Goose flags and mojo goose decoys are models which utilize motion to give the appearance of real geese moving as they sway with the wind.   They are usually placed on stakes on the ground and looking down from above, gives the appearance of a spread of geese feeding peacefully below.  Another favorite model decoy for many hunters is the Carrylite styles as they are economical, lightweight, realistic looking and easy to deploy.

The objective in using these decoys is to give real geese the impression a field or pond is safe for them to land and feed, thus making them accessible targets for the hunter. Having a mixture of various decoys further enhances the chances of real geese approaching a field or area due to the realistic setting they see.  Once a hunter becomes knowledgeable about the types of geese to hunt and the seasons best suited for that particular species of geese, he gains greater experience in the types of decoys to employ. This in turn increases both the joy and excitement of the hunt.
