Mixed Spread
 

I always separate my specks from the rest of the spread by a good distance. I have fully flocked speck dekes and a dozen good shells.

My question is how critical is separating to y'all? I hunted with a fella that added dekes to our spread for the morning and he was insistent on mixing the raggedy snow dekes with our fully flocked specks - I saved the argument, and let it roll.

We killed snows, eagle heads and blues, but got only one speck - they just would not decoy, basically taking a look over and flaring and that's what I blamed it on... Am I wrong?

He disagreed that they were that smart or any different than the snows/blues.

One of the best things to go by when goose hunting is ride around and see how the geese are sitting in the area fields. Take a mental note and place your decoys the next morning to mimic that. If you watch a body of snows/blues and you see specks coming to them they always light keeping their distance.

Well said, it looks more natural to have a seperation any time you look at a body of snows your specs will be on the outside of them, if they in the same field they are usually close enough to see the snows though.

x2. Specks will get in the same fields with them, but wont really mix with them. I've got several pics on my camera of that. Ill have to get my camera and upload some of them now.
