Just getting serious about field hunts. How many robos is too many. I only have 30 Dakota honkers 12 Dakota mallards 24 GHG mallard shells, and 3 spinners. 2 are older baby mojos and 1 new lucky HD with remote. I keep the mojos close to blinds (which I hate) so we can turn them off quickly. Targeting both ducks and geese. Would be adding more lucky HDs with remotes, but would rather spend money on goose blocks. More geese, or more spinners? Thanks

If you are hunting the X for ducks and canadas, you have enough spinners. If you are kinda just running traffic for mallards/pintails, I like at least 4 spinners, all on remotes. I think I would add goose decoys to your spread.

Thanks guru. Local season goes to mid February. Unfortunately I broke my leg New Year's Day and am probably done til next year. Plan on adding 2-3 more dozen geese by September instead of bothering with spinners. Easier to talk buddies into dropping $100 on a robo than a couple hundred on blocks.

Never too many for field mallards. I made a control box for my mojos so I don't have to buy remotes for each, just wire each to a box and use 1 remote. Slight pain to setup but works awesome when geese show up and I need them all off now.

I've been buying the cabelas baby mojo twin packs with remotes. The remotes work better than any 6V ebay remote on the market. I've tried 4-5 of those already with crap results.
If your on the X, unpressured mallards, say fresh birds in november, a couple mojos will do. If you're running traffic on pressured birds, say mid-october, the more spinners the better. We had days we ran 16 to break birds off the flightline, worked great. When you have 5-6 decoy spreads within 2 miles all trying to hunt the same birds, you have to do something different than the rest of the guys.
