addison, which kind of gun is that? I Browning 22? nice bolt. Where do you hunt? By kettlemoraine, jackson marsh? I know you're from sheyboygan and are there any places to hunt around sheboygan? I'm not from there but just wondering because we Milwaukeans got the west and northwest side to oursleves without traveling far. My friend and I go dove hunting in Jackson, and he's going there this weekend for ducks. I'm not, but doing some squirrel in wakesha this weekend. Alot of squirrels this year? I think the squirrels this year are big but i've seen alot of the small ones, but not alot of squirrels. I think over hunt them last year thats why not alot of squirrels.
And nice geese. did you use decoys? Geese call? I saw alot of ducks last two week when I went geese hunting but no luck. The geese flew too high, but the ducks fly just right. Good luck this weekend.
Lots of questions here. I'll try my best to answer them all in order.

I shoot a Mossberg 817 (.17HMR) bolt-action for small game.
My home forest is the Northern Kettle Moraines, which I hunt often. As for places around Sheboygan, the Kettle Moraines would be the closest big lot of public land available.
I've hunted Jackson Marsh before and it's a very productive area. There's plenty of wildlife there but alot of pressure from other hunters.
From what I've seen the squirrel population hasn't changed much where I hunt. Some areas hold more than others but you just have to limit yourself to keep the population alive and well.
As for geese hunting, we didn't use any decoys, just calls, since there was a group of geese 100yds from us already. Caught us off gaurd actually. lol.
Good luck and be safe this season. Feel free to ask questions.
