Seems decoying is a never ending learning process.

First year we timed it perfect and hunted during a snow storm in ND...got like 100 in 2 afternoon hunts. Year after that took us a long time to find birds and again we were in ND in a major snow storm. Finally found them Friday evening and got one day of hunting in on Saturday...shot 70. The next year there was no water, ended up finding a small area holding birds and got like 40 in 3 days. Last year sucked as we hunted a corn field in SD with no open water right after a snow storm. There were a ton of birds but everything wanted water...only got like 20. No more straight fields for us MUST be a water/field combo.

Beginners luck? We've been sucking each successive year haha. It really is hard when you go for one four day weekend. Hoping this year to maybe go a couple times...see what happens.

We run about 800 sillosocks, flappers, 4 speaker caller, couple homemade vortex's, couple wheelers with aggressive tires. One of these years tracks will get added to my wheeler.

Depending upon if my buddies could go or not we'd have a bunch of gear too.

Run 2 e callers, roughly 1200 sillosocks and 3 vortex's.

I'd be interested in going as well. Always wanted to try give snows a try but don't have the gear.

If its on the freeway I'd rather just do a drive-by shooting. Getting our and sneaking would be too dangerous, best to just shoot from the vehicle in that situation.
