Q leaving decoys out all season?

[cgoods17]

too many variables to answer properly... depends on location, if you are in a flyway and dont hold birds on property then put big spread and leave out.. if you hold birds, then use smaller spreads and adjust them frequently.

and dont put decoys in a circle for crying out loud.!!

I think he meant, for crying out loud please leave YOUR decoys in a circle.

You need to understand your situation before making that decision. If this is the first year hunting this spot and you know minimum about what the ducks use the area for, or if they do at all, I would suggest picking them up as much as you can. If you're just in a fly way and don't actually hold any birds in your area, then load that rig down with as many as you can and leave em out. I'd still pick them up during the split regardless if possible though.
