Guys, you mention fog conditions and you have clients who want to hunt those days, in fog do you still set out a big spread of snow decoys or just minimal spread, and just rely on calling?
"Big Spread" is a relative term. What is big to one person is tiny to another. On a foggy day, I like to go small, about 200 decoys or less. I don't want to "decoy shock" the birds. Chris might get a chance to chime in as well, but he is awfully busy this time of year. Thanks for your question! Good Hunting! Sean
I won't set anything under 1300 decoys personally. 3300 being about "right" for the whole areas we hunt. On Fogg days we string our decoys much narrower but string them out longer and hunt the furthest downwind edge we can to bust em stopping short.
Great and highly useful information. Mahalo for sharing.
Thank you gentlemen, very nice vid and useful info 👍👍👍👍👍. I’v got my first goose call and there’s a pretty wide field for learning as I see.
Glad it is helpful! Listen to the birds and watch what they are doing. Good Luck!
