SPECKtacular Goose Hunt
by Pro-Staffer Jeremy McIntyre
I received a phone call from my hunting partner and fellow Avery Pro-Staff member Curt Wilson on a late January afternoon. He proceeded to tell me how he couldn't believe the number of Spec's and Snows he saw in a field he was scouting. After finding out the location, I told him I had the privilege of hunting that same field the previous year. I made a telephone call to a customer and friend of mine and the date was set. Finally, a true test for the Zink Power-Spec. Full Story


Wood Over Water- Potomac River Smackdown!
by Z-Unit Derek Rambo
An idea came about a few months ago about testing the effectiveness of wood Zink calls and GHG® decoys to hunt heavily pressured, late season, public water honkers. Paul Cupka asked me to join him in Virginia to hunt the Potomac River way back in October while we were hunting in Canada. Not only was I excited about hunting with him on his "home" turf, but also to be involved in this great idea of Wood Over Water! It was something I was not going to pass up! Full Story


Late on the Big Muddy
by Z-Unit Troy Bailey
Very seldom does a plan work out perfectly. When it does and involves a hunt it is usually one that many cherished memories come from and this case was no different. Following a great hunt on the Kansas River the week before, our group started putting plans together for the final weekend of the Kansas dark goose season. Full Story


Post-Season Preparations
by Field-Staffer Mike Reed
The one idea that most water fowlers share is; the season is over, put the dekes in the shed, cover the boat or hang the calls in the closet… For the guys at Zink Calls, the season never ends. Instead, when February comes, time starts to run-out for preparation of the up-coming season. In this article you will learn tips and tricks from the guys that have been through it all and have come to understand and respect the inevitability of, "Trial and Error." Full Story


Finishing Things Up Right
by Z-Unit Troy Bailey
The ending of the Nebraska dark goose season hadn't sat real well with me. The zone that I live in had closed a few weeks earlier and I had plans of getting out into the other zones in Nebraska to finish the season off right, but with fighting the flu and poor weather conditions, those plans soon turned to dreams.

Flag From the Rear
by Z-Unit Rusty Hallock
To be successful with late season geese, sometimes you have to pull out all of the stops. Our plan was to hunt a soy bean field during the last week of the season. The problem was going to be that we had hunted that field one to two times a week for the last 5 weeks using spreads of four to five dozen FFD Lessers. Today's plan called for combining two decoy rigs into one large spread of twenty five dozen full bodies and over-sized shells. Full Story


Two Amazing Aerial Shows
by Z-Unit Rusty Hallock
With the second and final split of the Maryland A.P. goose season quickly approaching, we had to formulate a plan for opening day. We had a few strikes going against us for the opening day: the forecasted weather was 60 degrees and no wind, I only had access to corn fields that the geese had barely touched, and the geese had been exposed to heavy hunting pressure. Little did I know my luck was about to change only days from opening day. Full Story
