[QUOTE="Lungdeflator, post: 231134, member: 5163"] Still fairly new to goose hunting. As far as I understand, the last spot the geese were the night before is their preferred starting point the next morning, AKA the X. So when out scouting, how do you pinpoint the X? Some fields it seems easy as there might be a slough or some feature in the field to use as a landmark. Other fields are just wide open and it all looks very much the same on a dark foggy morning. I think maybe a rangefinder is a good way to do it. Should be able to triangulate a mark and then cross reference those distances on google maps or something. And then verify the next morning by looking for droppings in that spot. [/QUOTE]
