Snow goose decoy spreads
« on: September 18, 2020, 09:54:58 AM »
It’s gonna be my girlfriends first snow goose season this year and we are going to be getting some new decoys but the question is what decoys should we add to the spread?

Personally in the past I’ve always carried like 6 or 7 dozen silo socks some with heads some without but that’s pretty much been it. I’ve tried hunting snows on a budget before and used everything from white balloons to bleach jugs but I’m over the broke hunting game and I think it’s time to add to the collection.

Storage is limited at home and my hunting rig (my old jeep) doesn’t haul much but I’d like to put together a successful decoy spread this year

What do yalls run and what can y’all recommend?

As many socks, heads and headless, as you can buy, store, and haul.  Numbers are your friend.

Yeah I’ve heard that before and that’s kinda the plan...

What about those flying ones? Or the ones that appear to fly

Everything you hear about Sky Pandas ( Snow Geese ) is that they love movement. I will have a dozen flyers in my spread this season

Sky pandas? You mean sky carp?
