Hi,
My buddy wanted me to look for advise on if anyone uses duck and goose decoys at the same time and if you do can they be set up together or should they be two seperate groups of decoys?I have no idea as i've never hunted for either myself--just trying to get some info for a buddy.Any help would be great!

Well, we use a couple of Specklebelly deke's on our rice field levee to keep the ducks from lighting in that spot (not real sure how well it works though). But, I'm not much of a goose hunter however, I don't think it would be too hot an idea...ducks and geese tend to stay segregated pretty well, when the geese come into an area the ducks will usually take off. In addition the terrain hunted isn't the same, most goose hunters that I know hunt fields and relatively dry ground, while ducks are hunted in flooded fields, flooded timber, or potholes.

Don't get me wrong we shoot our fair share of geese, but it's mostly pass shooting when they are headed to the dry field beside our blind, and not decoying geese.
