We put them out to mimick what we are seeing. As far as snow decoys, we put about 8 full bodies out if it's foggy and that's it. We never put out snow decoys if we are hunting specks. The only time I put them out this year, I put out all 5 dozen full bodies we had plus the 2 dozen specks in Klondike. The birds that broke can right in to the spread. Once I broke em, I could put my call down and just let the dekes work. Next time they flare off your decoys, pull them all up but 2 or 3 and see how that works for you
Yeah, I was gonna leave just one or two out. We ended up doing like the Indians though and staked out our dead geese on the ground. It didn't hurt, but it didn't help either. I think the larger problem for us is that the field where the dekes were has been eaten by the geese. They seemed to be avoiding it like the plague, since they have torn it up.
