Where we hunt, we very seldom use more than 6 dekes for geese. We actually call it the "Six DekeShoot".Works like a charm even late in the season! We have usedbig spreads over the last 30 yrs but are past that. Maybe we`re just getting older(lazy?) and my main partner only has one arm also.
Hey, if it ain`t broke......don`t fix it!
