[QUOTE="snow, post: 309036, member: 1056"] In my old age I've resorted to stand up blinds,sold off my collection of layouts,really liked the final approach layout (finisher)as they have aluminum frames,waterproof,large pop up tent if needed for big boots late season,my XL was large enough for my big ass and my dog. No issues with my stand-up blind these days plenty of shooting,nice comphy fold out chair,standing gun rack,webbing you can see through rather than peeking over the top spooking the decoying birds,don't miss my layouts at all,but if you gotta have one consider one with a alum frame rather than a fold-up frame less type on windy/rainy day's. my .02 Calls? so many option's never used the primos but herd good things,in my part of mn we get a migration of greater canadian birds with deep sounds,so we put our short reeds away and dig out our 30 year old big river flute for these big B-52's , might be the easiest to learn with,but later in the season good ole hand tuned short reed calls are the bomb for shot at decoy shy honkers(lessor's and cackler's,check out Tim Grounds website,his half breed and coca bola have a great sound,geese respond well to these calls as they are not on everyone's lanyard in the field,a different sound makes a difference on pushed birds,a good acrylic will give you volume/distance. sometimes its best not to call on wary birds,but a flag comes in handy,late season so many hunters get hung up on double clucking,you'll seldom if ever hear honkers double clucking on the ground in the fall,some experts claim(I'm no expert) double clucking gets wary birds excited to come in, so many times I've watched from a distance other hunters calling like a dang calling competition only to flare decoying birds,but who knows why the birds flared could be one hunter peeking,the head bob will do it as well,just my .02.
