large goose spread
what do you all think the best snow goose spread is and in what pattern? I hunt in Texas and usually use around 500-800 decoys. We use full bodys,rags,silos and flyers. We have alot of bluebird days and a few foggy days.

RE: large goose spread
Pattern is strictly up to you. A "u" pattern works good in that it funnels the birds to the shooters. Foggy days, set the dekes closer togther. I too hunt TX coast(Eagle Lake, KAty) and in the begining of the year, they are in large masses, 1000+ dekes will work good. Later in the season, they split up into family groups. During this time(Right Now) setting out less decoys is usually better. BUT ALWAYS, the key to a good hunt here on the prairie is to be where the birds want to be.
