No worries FC. 'Bout 4 hunts a week during early and regular season for the last 4 years. I usually hunt Tuesday thru Friday and avoid Sat thru Monday due to weekend warriors hunting, hiking, fishing, and the like which might account for the difference in attitude of the geese. If you are hunting during the weekend with lots of fields holding spreads I can understand the birds being skittish. If the first flock flares, something is wrong has been my experience. I have detail OCD as well so if the geese even slide to one side twice, I adjust. I also DON'T call heavy as a general rule. I usually call loud and fast until the flock starts my way, then I cluck until they hit 100 yards or so, then call hard and fast for a few seconds and then just single clucks or a double cluck until boom time. Twould be good to compare notes as far as spread size, shape, flock size, species, decoys, blinds and all the other cool stuff about goose hunting. PM me some digits and we can talk more as typing somewhat limits communications.
