I would think that 3-4 dozen would be a good number to start with. I like to travel light, so I'm considering the additional bulk that shells and full bodies bring.
The birds won't even notice the difference between 3 dozen shells and the 600 socks around them in my opinion.
I'm far from an expert on snows, and honestly, I never get to hunt as much in the spring as I always initially plan.
I don't think we'll buy any more than the 250. Trailer is packed the way it is. Three main reasons we decided to add them: frozen ground in the early spring, pasture pond shallow water, and not having to re arrange them all for a wind switch. Dakotas with the ring bases attached, we can fit 250 in a 6x12, along with 4 layouts, 2 sillosock cubes, 4 rotaries, etc.
