Quick Answer
To lure Brant geese, use a high-pitched, nasal call that mimics the sounds of injured or distressed geese, such as a "killing" or "wounded" call. This type of call is typically repeated 3-5 times at 10-second intervals. The call should be loud enough to be heard over any background noise.
Choosing the Right Call
When selecting a call for Brant geese, look for one that can produce a high-pitched, nasal sound. A call with a adjustable volume and tone control will be most effective, as you’ll need to adjust the pitch to match the sounds of the geese. Consider a call with a “killer” or “wounded” sound, which is typically a series of high-pitched, staccato notes.
Call Patterns and Timing
To use the call effectively, repeat the “killing” or “wounded” call 3-5 times at 10-second intervals. This pattern allows the geese to become accustomed to the sound and associate it with a potential threat. After the initial series of calls, wait 30 seconds to 1 minute to allow the geese to move in. Be prepared to make additional calls as needed to keep the geese within shooting range. The key is to maintain a consistent and realistic pattern that simulates the sounds of injured or distressed geese.
