Have some questions on running a multi species fall spread, focusing on snows but interested in other species as well. Will be mainly a snow goose spread, 175 full bodies and up to 800 socks is what I have to use. MOST of what I read (some conflicting opinions) says canadas and specks like to stay on the downwind side of a flock of snows. Most guys also set their blinds on the upwind side of the spread. Doesn't seem like this would offer many shots on canadas.
1) Is it worth running a mixed spread or just hope the darks land in the snow spread?
2) Where do you all place your canadas in a snow spread (I have up to 100 fully flocked avian full bodies as well as 3 dox headed socks)?
3)Where do you place your ducks? Figured I would mix in a couple dozen full bodies close to the blinds since ducks tend to get along with everyone?
4) I have read also that specks tend to react A LOT better when a few speck dekes are used. is half dozen mixed with the canadas enough to get their attention or do you need more?
Thanks in advance!
