In my experience we used to use 3 dozen g&h shells, and we picked up 6 ghg full bodied specks and had better success. Imo if you use a better quality/more lifelike decoy you can use less and cut down time getting set up. Remember less is more in some situations.

Whatever you get, you want the velvet/flocked ones. They look so much more realistic. And you don't need as many.

Nope Specks and here in Houston, they also have snow geese. They usually run for $80 a box but they had a bunch left over after the season and I went and cleaned up at the one by my house. I also picked up some GHG hot buy mallards for $20 a box...

Also with the velvet flocked they don't shine nearly as much with the dew of the early la mornings. Which to me is the key I have had birds flare until the decoys dried
