Mixed Spread

[Goooh]

I always separate my specks from the rest of the spread by a good distance. I have fully flocked speck dekes and a dozen good shells.

My question is how critical is separating to y'all? I hunted with a fella that added dekes to our spread for the morning and he was insistent on mixing the raggedy snow dekes with our fully flocked specks - I saved the argument, and let it roll.

We killed snows, eagle heads and blues, but got only one speck - they just would not decoy, basically taking a look over and flaring and that's what I blamed it on... Am I wrong?

He disagreed that they were that smart or any different than the snows/blues.
