Your going to need alot of decoys, they flock to the numbers. You can buy texas rags at Sportsmans Warehouse, 50 for $25. When I say alot of decoys, I'm talkin like around 500 or so. I hunt with about 600 rags and 3 dozen shells. The next biggest thing is to find a field that they are using or one that is close to it. If you do get a flock to come in, let the first few land. Then shoot the ones in the air, as you do you'll have more shots at the ones getting up off the ground. Just don't shoot em' while their on the ground!! Might look into getting an electronic caller, snows make alot of noise and youll need something to catch their attention. Not a must but it does help. I made an electonic caller for around 40.00, so you could do the same to save some of that $$$$. Good luck!!
I found that competition for "sky carp" has increased dramatically the past couple of years. Electronic callers are very helpful. Get a feel for the geese, last weekend they just wouldn't commit so letting the first few land wasn't an option. The birds are very wary, we had better luck with taking our shots at around 50 yds. We also wear full white camo just to blend into the set up. Set up between roost and feeding areas if possible.
Good Luck

I dont have any decoys or calls and untill the last couple years we didnt get many snows through here.Laely theres been a few thousand coming back through.To hunt them i just find a flock, and start crawling.Its not a real scientific approach but its a lotta fun, escpecially if you can sneak in range of a big flock and empty your gun at em, amazing the number of them you can knock down with 5 shots.
Watch out when doing this though, two years ago i crawled up in the middle of the biggest flock ive ever seen in the fall.I emptied my gun and to my suprise i only killed 2 snows,, one blue, and also got 2 mallards and one canadian hutch that i hadn realized were in there.That woulda been a bad deal in the spring season LOL.
And to be totaly honest ive crawled up on big flocks and emptied my gun at em at very close range and not knocked anything down, it can get pretty crazy with that many geese getting up at once and you kinda forget to aim LMAO.
