My learned experience from a guide came from Steve Lee of Lone Drake Guide Service. A couple of things come readily to mind;
1. Move your vehicles far away from the spread, further away than with dark geese. If possible, use a shelterbelt or trees to hide them.
2. Hide your blinds like your life depends on it. If in a corn field, use every bit of stubble possible to completely cover the blind...I mean completely.
3. Be patient with an approaching flock. They may circle over the spread several times before they totally commit.
4. Accept that every hunt is not going to be a 100-bird hunt. Have fun and enjoy the day no matter how many birds are killed.
