You are probably right about that - especially on flooded fields where the decoys may be left out. But where I hunt on public - I was using anywhere from a dozen to 3 dozen decoys and switched to using close to 100 - and the difference has been VERY noticeable. Not a lot of folks on public taking the time or effort to put out and pick up 100 decoys EVERY morning - especially when you wonder if you are going to even see a limit of ducks. And I am doing that by myself.. Be careful with decoys, too many and they might not come in, looks like everyone's setup that they've seen all year. They tend to get decoys shy, call shy and blind shy this time of year, esp. if they arent new birds.
??get you a string tho it over a limb hang that sucker and when they come by give it a shove she'll circle around like a tether ball!:jiggy:hone:
No - sorry for the confusion - that is not timber - it is open slough - button brush or open cypress. Don't have any timber.SwampCat you say u put out upto a 100 decoy in the timber is that a big hole you hunt or scatter them throughtout the timber
That's great, we are all very proud of you.I guess the "X" has been on us for the last 5 years. Considering we never hunt the same hole for more than 3-4 days in a row.
