Well, I've just had what I'm pretty sure was my first experience with Anti's and/or their results. I'm a member of a private lake, east of Broomfield, that has pretty good goose hunting on it. My partner had a custom- designed and built blind that was an extravagant affair that he had invested quite a bit of labor and wood in. It was somewhat portable, and we had spent 3 days, earlier, refurbishing it and putting it up at our lake. I went out Monday morning to find it, and 2 of the other 3 blinds on the lake, burned to the ground! The other 2 blinds were cattail and hay bale blinds, and probably burned up/down pretty quickly. However, ours was comprised of 2X4's, 4X4's, and plywood. As there were hunters and ice-fisherman on the lake all day Sunday, this all happened sometime Sunday night. For this much wood to burn so hot and fast, it was probably fueled by a goodly amount of gasoline. While we've reported it to the club officers and the local Sherrif's dept., none of it gives quite the satisfaction that I know we'd have if we had caught the bastard(s) ourselves. One side note... I'm happy to say that they still failed in their attempt to kill our hunting. Quite the contrary. Two guys from one of the other burned blinds joined me and we just hid in the willows and weeds on the shore next to my still-smoldering blind. Three of us and Hershey, (the Chocolate-Mallard-Muncher), hiding in the weeds.... and we got our 9-bird limit by 10:30. Without doubt, one of the best decoying days I've ever seen. Definitely a first experience for me! Good decoyin' Larry and Hershey

So that's the secret of decoying geese! Burn your blind to the ground.
I never would have suspected that geese like to warm up next to a fire!
Seriously, I hope ya'll nail those bastards.
