Thinking I might switch up my spread this year, coming into this season with a blank slate, sold off/gave away all my dekes last year.
I was running between 12-48 mallard dekes, with a mix of wigeon and a pacific flyway pack mixed in before, and 4 older goose floaters. I noticed ducks seemed to want to land with the floaters quite often, and would sometimes work the mallards, just to turn and not commit.
This year, I was thinking of upping the goose floaters up to 12-18, with a dozen Dakota mallards, and some wigeon maybe.
Anyone run a similar setup? Am I not gonna have enough geese to be worthwhile? My other thought was 2 dozen Dakota mallards, with 6-12 wigeon mixed in.
