Wildfowl_-_September_2019

Mueller always brings the trailer
and puts out a minimum of eight-
dozen full-bodies. He has also gone
to Banded’s remote flagger, which
allows you to place motion away
from the blind, and when it comes to
calling, he says mimic the geese. He
has plenty of friends that can blow a
sh ort-reed like they are on the stage

in Easton, but that’s not what most

honkers are looking for.

“I know the flag bit sounds like

a product promotion, but it does

work,” Mueller said. “Last year was

so tough, it has me thinking about

hunting the way Tim Grounds used

to. He would throw everything at

them, silhouettes, milk jugs painted

black, tires cut in half...maybe it’s

time to go back to that.”

THE STAGE VS. THE FIELD

Call champ John Walls—he’s won

team goose three times and live

goose in 2014 in Easton—looks the

part of a honker killer, from his Brad

Keselowski No. 2 NASCAR camo hat
