Safety being of my first concern, I leavethe landing zone in front or behindthe pit. That will help eliminate people from shooting over each others heads.Here in Colorado we use big spreads from, 12 dozen to 50 dozen full bodys. I've always thought people try to over think the decoy spread. If it looks realistic and the landing zones are set for safe shootingfrom the group, the rest is up to your callers. I know that some people think calling geese is not that important, but the people who say that can't call.If you have a decent looking spread the geese will come to the flag and the call. If calling doesn't work, call harder!
