EP 17 Lets Talk Full Body Canada's

EP 17 Lets Talk Full Body Canada's

Welcome back everyone!

Its been another week in the blind, and as we wind down the duck season, we cant help but look ahead at what's coming down the pipe next...

3RD PERIOD CANADA GOOSE! 

We've had a lot of people ask; "Whats a good cackler decoy for here?" "What decoys should I buy?" So, we decided to give you guys an hour and a half of strictly canada goose full bodies, ranging from the well known Dave Smith Decoys, down to smaller companies like Bulk Decoy Club and SX Decoys. We talk prices from as little as $110 for 6 all the way up to over $440 for 4! 

Here in our neck of the woods, we get a 3rd and final goose season untill our resident Sept. season. This season is full of educated birds, and birds that have almost forgot what a hunter is, making it quite the closer for waterfowl. A lot of people will switch gears and target the ever so abundant subspecies "Cackling" Canadas, some guys will go after those big migrators getting ready for the flight back up to Canada. 

We wish this episode finds you well, and we hope that all of you had a great and safe waterfowl season.


Be sure to follow us on Instagram @Blind_Chatter and on Facebook at "The Blind Chatter Podcast" to follow us, and people like you through the waterfowl season!
