How do you guys set up for snows? Im under the impression they are extremely tough to decoy and you need at least 1000+ dekes?

It was a little easier this year as every field didn't have a set up in it.  Early season, they decoy very well and towards the later half of the season very large spreads or full bodies are the ticket.
Cut em!
It's not the shells!  It's the shooter!

I must say tht not having so many people with decoys this year was amazing in using decoys.  We have pretty much gone to full bodies only and in the early season it's crazy good with real close shots.  Somewhere in the edn of November the birds start to spread out. Later towards Januaury they came back to normal places and decoyed again really well. With the snowgoose program cut down and not having a ton of decoys out all the time it improved.  I also saw people put out big spreads and they seem to do really well this year too.
