Searching around online sounds like people view 6-8 dozen decoys minimal for a field hunting spread. Is that really the case? Any guidance on how many full bodies vs silhouettes/socks?

Turn the spinners off when the geese are coming. They hate em. If you’re not seeing ducks, get rid of them completely. Match your decoy amounts by what you’re seeing. During migration periods if you’re seeing large amounts of birds then a big spread is necessary, otherwise a couple of dozen are fine. If the geese in your area are accustomed to small groups, then go that way. We like to use socks, ONLY when you have wind otherwise they’re going to hurt you. Silhouettes are the way to go and mix some full bodies amongst them. I’ve used shells, socks, full bodies, etc. and Silhouettes are the ticket. If you’re seeing ducks, put the full body ducks off on one end. Good luck!
