[QUOTE="KDM, post: 139430, member: 314"] Only frustration I have is the DAMNABLE CACKLERS!!!! I HATE THEM LITTLE BASTAGES!!! As far as the deks are concerned, my decoy spread is exactly what I see the night before. If the birds are split, I split the spread. If they are spread out, my spread is open and so forth. Most of the time the spread looks like a nebulous blob of deks. No letters or numbers of any kind. Haven't had many days with birds flaring unless I'm with someone that's peeking, crappy camo on their blind, or doesn't have a blind. Most spreads in my opinion do not look like real birds. They look like fake birds trying to hide blinds that are horribly camo'd. Case in point. My nephews came to hunt and showed up with completely NAKED blinds and thought the factory camo was good enough. Tried to get them to camo them up with stubble and what they used on their blinds wouldn't have filled a 5 gallon bucket. Needless to say, we didn't have stellar hunts. Same with some buddies from Pennsylvania. Their blind camo SUCKED!!!! We shot some ducks and 3 geese for 4 days hunting. Lots of birds gave us the 80 yard eye fluck and went elsewhere. We got what we asked for as far as I'm concerned. It wasn't the birds that wouldn't cooperate.......it was us screwing up. [/QUOTE]
