french_lake_kid Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 What "formatin" or what ever you want to call it, do you set field dekes in? Thx again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big drift Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Try to simulate the positioning of the bids in the field you plan to hunt. If your running traffic or on a field your not familiar with the L of U formations work well. Remember to set your decoys with the wind at your back so they have the pocket to land into. Remember to keep some space between the fmaily groups and limit the number of sentrys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WollMan Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 dont forget to put some duck shells or full bodies behind your layouts as well. We also put spinners when allowed. if you have ducks feeding in fields in the area this can be one of the funnest ways to hunt them, they will usually come around sun-up so be ready and hit them with some good calling. nothing better than having them swarm your spread and shooting them with their feet down 10 feet off the ground right in your face Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
folke2000 Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Another thing is to not have them all facing into the wind....This simulates birds ready to take flight... When you observe birds in the field they mill around and face all directions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WollMan Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 good point. we mix it up with the decoys all the time. we use big foots and other full bodies, some with moving bases, silo's, shells, higdon shells. The movement is the key. if you have heads bobbing and weavingand bodies moving side to side this is killer, use a flag when they are far out too. if you have a duck spinner turn it off with the geese are coming in, they dont like this type of movement, but the green heads do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
