John's Journal... Entry 79, Day 1 Using Mounted Decoys for Goose Hunting EDITOR'S NOTE: Mitch Sanchotena of Middleton, Idaho, a longtime goose hunter and a pro staffer for Knight and Hale Game Calls, enjoys hunting geese in the Snake River valley in southern Idaho. Question: How long have you been hunting geese?
Question: Where do you hunt primarily? Question:
What is the goose population like there? Question: Are the birds mostly greater Canada
geese? Question: How did you come up with the idea of
using mounted geese as decoys? Since I had a small taxidermy business, in the off-season I mounted 18 geese in various lifelike poses. After reading articles, I knew I wasn't the first to try smaller spreads. But I was experimenting, and that's what I came up with that worked best for me. Question: Did you know of anyone else who was
using mounted decoys? Question: What did you find out about mounted
decoys? Why did you go to the smaller spreads and start using mounted
decoys? Question:
I noticed your decoys are mounted on wooden planks. You hide the planks,
don't you? Question: Do you think the geese can see the boards
if you don't do that? Tomorrow: Calling Geese
