I honestly have no clue. Atleast 4 dozen mallard decoys, 2 dozen wood duck decoys, 1 dozen greenwing teal decoys, one pintail, 7 dozen goose shells, 3 dozen goose rags, and over 300 crane decoys. So whatever that ends up bein.

i've got 50 assorted mallards and blacks. one pintail that i found.

but, i rarely use more than 7, somedays 13... but thats it. some of my best hunting is with one hen mallard, walking a slow creek....jump 'em, flop her out there, call 'em back.

she's MUCH easier to carry!

works very good. i used to own some original "suc-ducs" the rubber dekes that you "plop" down and they fill with air. very crude. but they balled up to fit in my pockets, and worked great!

sometimes ive called small (3-12 birds) flocks back 3 or four times , it can be very productive, especially late season when the big lakes are iced up and they gotta use the creeks and streams .... give it a try!

4 dozen duck and 1 dozen geese. Most of the time I use 1 or less dozen for duck....The key is to stay mobile, if the birds go into your spread one day but not the next its time to move. If you carry too many deeks you wont feeel like moving as often .
