[QUOTE="Duckslayer100, post: 231136, member: 1485"] I've had it be where if you weren't EXACTLY where the birds wanted to be, they would land somewhere else. But lately I've been having luck just being in the general vicinity and having an extremely good hide. I think some guys get so hung up on location that they neglect taking time to really get covered up. My favorite setup is to find a field with those dried up potholes that have overgrown cattails or weeds. This is primo for hiding as you can really disappear. You're not "in" the decoys, but that's to your benefit. I think geese and ducks start to pick out layout blinds in decoys not long after opener, so doing something different throws them off. I'll set the closest decoys about 20 yards out and the further decoys 45-50 yards. I really clump them up and make a U or J shape. If it's duck season, I put the spinners right in the kill hole and make sure remotes are at the ready so they can be turned off when geese are working. With this setup I know I've been off the X, but because I'm not in the decoys and they can't pick me out, the birds work well. [/QUOTE]
