If hunting a rice field, personally, I like to put specks into family groups 3-4 birds. I'll put all my full bodies on one side of the levee up wind of me and have 3-4 down wind coming straight across the blind. As much as I like decoying birds, Your ideal shot are birds on top of you. Having a spread like I am saying, allows me to get those birds to focus on one flock of birds then focus on another flock of birds. Concealment is huge because of how the birds are working. But it also takes the focus of the birds off the blind and onto the other group once the pass up the first group.

I hope you understand what I am trying to say lol I can try and get a picture drawn up as to what I mean if you don't understand

Very good info sir! Thank you! It is rice but they will be craw fishing it so I'm thinking full bodies will be sketchy unless I can make some adjustments. If you can get that drawn up I would really appreciate the visualization.

If its going to be crawfished its going to be tough to kill much of anything out of it.

early in the season, water is good... everything is looking for water. if you just flew across country, wouldnt you look for water. so my opinion, early season water is more of an advantage. later in the year i would say water will be tougher to consistently kill over.

obviously we are talking about 2+ feet of water since it a crawfish pond, and not 8-10"
