New permission gained

[Hilltop]

I just received permission on the field out my office window. It is used heavily in the fall by Canada Geese and in the spring by snows... pretty excited but now trying to plan blind locations. There is a large public marsh on the north end and a fence line on the east with decent terrain change and brush along the fence line. Any advice on blind location?

Here is the satellite view of the field- the one immediately north of the blue dot.


Here is a picture from my office from last spring.

Hilltop looks like you and your son are going to pile up the geese this coming season! Good on you!

Congrats! Looks like it won't matter. Just go kill your limit quickly and get back home to work on Honey-do-list.

My wife sure does like the idea of us hunting so close to home. She will be able to hear the shots if she stands on the patio lol.

Maybe she'll have everything ready to process the geese when you get home from the Hunt!

Is it in corn this year? If so, I'd just hunt it with layout blinds. Less impact to the field, and you can move around to where ever the geese are preferring to feed.

It is in corn again. I was leaning that direction but those pit blinds sure are comfy. Either way I will need to spend a little money as I don't have either. I think in the end I would get more use out of the layout blinds.

To be able to look out my office and see an area I hunt would be heaven but I do not know how much work I would get done ! Congratulations !

It does get distracting at certain times of year. The view right now isn't much to write home about;

Open invite- let me know if you guys are headed this way again. I think a good spread on that field would really produce.

Order a few of these layout blinds and be done with it. Would be the heck out of digging a pit.

They're even waterproof (to an extent, we've hunted them in very shallow water, and stayed dry)

There is a good chance we will be out your way again! I will let you know!

Layout blinds would be my choice, since they're so easy to move when the wind direction changes.

Snow's look like a fun time, Don't see them around my house so its a big deal if someone gets one! but I went to North Dakota 3 years ago and witnessed a white out from the road.... very loud, and flat out unreal how many birds must have been there.

I second the Rogers goose buster blinds. Get the extra lumbar pads too. Old, fat guys especially appreciate them. I swore I would never own a layout with pins but these setup and take down with ease. They're not ideal for walking in though. Don't get the XL size unless you think you can hide a condominium. Of the three blinds I own, and several others that I've used, the Rogers by far my favorite. Get snow covers too! None of that white bedsheet or spray snow b.s.!

I am a little jealous...man that's going to be some epic hunting!
