Do others on here place the best looking or newer decoys toward the periphery,or just mix and not worry so much with decoy placement?
I, too try to incorporate that theory. When I guided, I used 400 duck decoys in the marsh. I would always put the "prettiest" ones on the edge of the hole that I wanted to them to decoy to. In the marsh that I hunted, SE or E was the predominant wind and the best for my blind, so, I'd also put some more "pretty" ones so they could bank and see those first. Not saying that it mattered. I'll never know, cause that's what I did every time I set them for the splits....
