[QUOTE="BlackEagle1, post: 4585215, member: 18058"] So as far as numbers of decoys go everyone has an opinion. The location and plan of attack would be key players. If it’s a place you can rest and let birds rest/build up before shooting then you likely won’t need to many, but would want to pick up every day (a cornfield for example). If it’s a permanent setup trying to target Migrators then numbers maybe king. My normal game is Migrators and I run a large (500+) decoy spread. My boat spreads 5 dozen battleships when I hunt backwater. Ducks do sometimes land wide of the decoys esp in fields in my experience. You can move your gear to adjust but depending on the 8000 variables that are present each day you’ll have to be flexible. I suggest buying decoys that are a little more durable than what you listed. To your original post I like diversity in my spread but it’s majority mallards with black ducks and pintails. Nice ball of teal always looks good. I don’t see a need for much in the way of wood ducks unless your targeting them. [/QUOTE]
