The birds are being scouted everyday yes, and we are setting up right where they were the day before. Everytime we go over there for a weekend hunt we are generally in a different feild becasue thats where the owner of the hunting club we are part of is finding the birds. Birds that have been sitting on the ground for a while look normal and relaxed and we mimic the spacing they are feeding.

Are you the A or B group. You may be getting fields that were just hunted. You may be dealing with some educated birds.
Thank you hdshot, that techinque of calling I havent tried in full. I will give that a try next time! If the birds are hedead right in the hole 30 yards of the deck do you shut the calling off completly incase you make a bad cluck or murmur? or do you keep callign soflty until the first one is back flapping?
Awesome, thanks for the advice. Whats your average spacing between decoys this late into the season? especially with snow on the ground? I do have flocked greenhead gear sleepers I throw into my spread late season esp. with snow in the feilds.
