300 Dekes or Bust
I honestly don't believe in the 2nd split means less decoys theory
Lets say you started the 1st split with 200 decoys you left out 24/7 then hunted with 100 by the end of the second split and the birds "worked" better you may attribute your success to the decrease in decoys. But I disagree.
We have birds that become localized and very smart by the second split, they pass by your blind every other day and see the same 200 decoys that are not set up for the current wind conditions and they say nope not goin there.
2 Weeks later you pull 100 decoys, and I know your gonna pull the old faded ones 1st.
For a couple more weeks you have more success because your hunting "less" decoys....
My opinion is pull the decoys every weekend if not every day.
Set the decoys for the current wind and hunt over as many as you can afford/need/or wanna pull at the end of the hunt.
