Hunting
Field Shoots For Canada Geese
It’s a little known fact that literally in the shadow of Manhattan’s skyscrapers is some of the hottest Canada goose hunting on the east coast. But it’s a well known fact that for over 42 years master guide Capt. Tommy Cornicelli has provided hunters form all over the country and abroad with some of the finest gunning on Long island’s beautiful east end for these great birds. The area hunted is located on the north fork’s scenic vineyard country and is an hour and a half drive from New York City making it within easy traveling distance for a day’s hunt. The rye, sod and cornfields in this area under lease have been consistently productive because of our hunting techniques, experience and good management, in turn making our success ratio outstanding.
Depending on the situation you can expect to hunt over 150 to 500 decoys. These consist of stuffers (actual geese mounted for hunting), Dave Smith decoys, Fred Zink’s Avians, Big Al’s new silhouettes and of course Real Geese silhouettes clearly unparalleled realism putting the odds in your favor!
When gunning for Canadas concealment is paramount and our pits and new “Three Quarter Pit” hides are second to none. These pits are well constructed and very comfortable and can accommodate up to six guns, we do like a minimum of four hunters for the half days hunt.
This is a half day hunt requiring a minimum of 4 guns.
• These magnificent birds deserve the respect of all caring hunters, therefore a special effort will be made to shoot decoying birds to ensure clean quick kills!
• Recommended Guns: 12 and 20 gauge shotguns, 3 in. Steel or Bismuth Shot Shells # 3’s and 2’s with Improved Cylinder … Hevi- Shot offers a variety of shotgun shells to choose from, Hevi- Bismuth, Hevi-Metal, Hevi – Steel etc. Also the new Boss Shells are excellent and preferred by myself! NO LEAD SHELLS!
• In regard to hunting geese, each days flight can vary depending on weather conditions so, although these are Half Day Hunts, an extra effort will be made for you to extend the hunt.
• PRACTICE GUN SAFETY: I will explain prior the hunt about your Zone of Fire, the mistake of mixing shells, being aware of your muzzle etc. I cannot be more momentous about GUN SAFETY ! THE UNSAFE HANDLING OF GUNS WILL NOT BE TOLERATED!
• A DEPOSIT of 50% is required.
