Electronic Snow Goose Callers

Midwest Waterfowl Outfitters - Apr. 21, 2008

Another important piece of equipment in the snow goose spread for a snow goose guide is the use of electronic snow goose calls. It seems some guys seem to overlook the importance of these tool in the field and do not spend enough to get a quality system.

When I started out there was nothing on the market that was good enough for what I wanted it to do, or priced reasonably enough that I could justify buying. This resulted in years of me building and testing different callers ended with me finding the perfect caller for my style of hunting. The end result is the Snow Persuader, it is made with top of the line high power speakers and a powerful amp. The sound it is playing is produced by Jim Jones on his Snows on the Prairie II cd. This is the most realistic sound I have found to date and it is all played via an mp3 player that never skips and you don't have to worry about the CD becoming scratched. In the field I believe the more areas of your spread you have covered with sound the better.

Last season I ran 6 speakers and next year I will be running 8 speakers. The bulk of the speakers are set-up down wind of my blind and are the volume is not cranked up that loud, I like there to be sound projecting up when a flock of birds as traveling over the lower portion of my snow goose spread and not have all the sound coming from one point at the top of the spread. Near the top of my spread either directly in front or behind my blinds I will run two 100-watt high power speakers. This e-caller is placed directly behind by blind and has a volume control running to inside guide's blind. This is a very important thing to me as I have found you want to regulate the speaker volume as the birds approach and attempt to land in your kill hole. Distant birds you can crank it up to get their attention and then back it off as the birds get closer and closer. Just like with a Canada goose call you can dictate where the snow geese will go with the caller by adjusting the volume on the call.
