Thanks guys. The calling is excellent (i'm trying to get my buddy expert to teach me haha). I'm thinking it's partially weather(way too sunny and clear) and decoys. What patterns do you guys recommend for smaller spreads? They are good looking shells and I may shell out some cash for a half dozen full body specks. What is the general consensus on rags? Do you need a large number of them to work? I've heard they are magnets from some people and other people say they frighten geese. I don't know...
