Summary

When spring finally hits, it’s time for snow – snow geese that is! These crafty birds are notoriously tough to dupe. You have to want and earn those magical big-number days - so we sit down with Chad and Clay Belding from The Fowl Life TV/This Life Ain’t For Everybody Podcast and multiple other great content platforms to find out how it’s done! From giant decoy spreads (more than 1000), how to lay them out, electronic calls and unplugged shotguns, to countless hours of windshield time and a network of waterfowling friends to help you find the X, this was an informative and fun conversation we won’t soon forget. If you’re up for big challenge, big fun and another outdoor addiction, or are looking to add to your decoy bag of snow goose tricks, hit play and stack the information high! As always, we want to hear your feedback! Let us know if there are any topics you'd like covered on the Vortex Nation™ podcast by asking us on Instagram @vortexnationpodcast
