Stay One Step Ahead of Late Season Honkers
By: Bryan Pietig
There is no question that late season Canada geese can bring some of the greatest challenges to even the most seasoned waterfowler, and for obvious reasons. By this time of year these birds have seen the decoys, heard the calling, and flown into numerous pits and blinds while seeing them open upon descent. To add to the madness, Mother Nature can throw harder curve balls than a major league pitcher during the months of December, January, and February which not only makes conditions extreme for the hunter, but changes the patterns and moods of geese on a daily basis. When the going gets this tough, you need to throw a few curve balls of your own. |

When Every Hunter’s Dreams Become a RealityBy: Mick Hanan 
After 18 hours on the road traveling almost a thousand miles, we arrived at our destination. It was nearly eleven o’clock at night. We had reservations at a newly opened bed and breakfast. A local married couple (Yvonne and Gille) were hosting us for the week and they were excited, yet a little nervous, for our arrival. This was the first time they were having a group of hunters stay with them and they weren’t quite sure what to expect. We were greeted with open arms and they allowed us to take over most of their house as well as their garage. We settled in and made ourselves comfortable and began the unpacking process. Next, it was time to sit down with the hosts, have a few beers, and get acquainted. Before long, it was time to turn in for the night.

Fowl University Bags a Limit at 2008 Minnesota State Duck and Goose Contests  Fowl University Bags a Limit at 2008 Minnesota State Duck and Goose Contests Every year the best duck and goose callers across the state of Minnesota gather just outside of Anoka, Minnesota at Game Fair for the Northstar State Duck and Goose competitions. Game Fair is a two weekend event in August in which hunting, fishing and outdoor enthusiasts can unite to see the new products of the outdoor industry and receive a wide variety of advice and knowledge from numerous vendors and experts in the field. A number of duck and goose calling competitions coincide with this event. Cash and prizes are given away down to third place in most contests. Contests are run by the general rules of calling competitions in which callers blow a 90 second routine demonstrating the different aspects of duck and goose calling in respect to their contest. Each contest requires that competitors must blow three rounds. Callers are scored on their performance by a panel of five judges. Judges are held in different corners of an enclosed curtain so that they can’t see the callers or the scores by the other judges. Cuts are made after three rounds to narrow down the field of callers. After three rounds callers are ranked according to their overall performance throughout the three rounds. |

Flagging- More than meets the eye!
By: Mike BenjaminOver the years flagging has become a huge part to many hunters success. From Coast to Coast many hunters have bought flags with the hopes of the flag being “the secret password to killing geese”.
