RE: Texas rags & shells
Texas Rags work best with high flying geese like snows and specs, because they see the top of decoy, not the side. Shells, silhouettes and full bodies work best on canadas, because they fly lower and see the side of the decoy. I mix 1-3 rags in with each family group of 4-10 shells. If you really want to decoy geese get a "Lander Kite" made by Randy "Flag Man" Bartz. E-mail me if you're interested and I'll get you his address, phone.
