SD,
Attached below are 2 pictures of decoy spreads I hunted over this past season.

The above photo was taken by Avery Territory Manager Wayne Radcliffe. The decoy spread is the combination of two rigs (Wayne Radcliffe and Rob Jepson)

The picture above was a picture of a small spread that we hunted over during the last day of our season on the Eastern Shore. We only used a few decoys, but placed them in such a way to give us a lifelike spread. There are a few more full body geese to the right of this picture. The decoy spread layout was Avery Pro-Staffer Jason Connellee's design.

Jon,
I am not really sure. The entire spread would not fit into the photo. I would say we were hunting over around 20 dozen GHG Full Bodies. It was a mixture of Hunter Grade, Pro-Grade, FFD Elite, and Lessers.

Here is a picture of part of my rig on a hunt in Southern Maryland. The rig consisted of about six dozen GHG Full Bodies. It was a mixture of Hunter Series, Pro-Grades, FFD Elite, and Lessers.

This picture is hard to see. We were hunting public land on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Three of us were hunting over 6 dozen GHG Lessers and Pro-Grades. We also added a dozen GHG Full Body Snows to increase the visibility of our spread. Not to many geese flew on this day, but all seemed to be inerested in our spread. It did not take long for us to limit out.

Here's one from a hunt we had. I like the security these fullbodies give the ducks.

Don't know if you can see the fullbody ducks very well or not.

Another hunt.

The one decoys leaning is due to the REALLY hard ground moxt of the time the UMS goes in the ground easily.

Here is a picture of a late season speck spread. The water is about 2" deep.
The sunrise was awesome. The picture does not do it justice.

Great pics Rusty, Scott and Jason. Scott, I'd love to snow goose at that spot. They get a guy a little warm and fuzzy. I know it is not the real resters that are coming out, but stretch your imagination a little.....these are my homemade rester\sleepers.

Sweet. Are those snows mixed in with the Canadas ?
Wayne Radcliffe
02-20-2006, 08:54 PM
We actually had 10 dozen GHG snows and blues but every group of geese we scouted only had a few mixed in. So we only put out a dozen or so.

Sweet pics guys and Doug, awesome job on the sleepers. They look awesome.
Wayne,
Next season, you could probably put out a few more decoys, just kidding. The spread looks great.
A couple more from ND. http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/4135/rig1ln.pnghttp://img136.imageshack.us/img136/2521/10003688gp.jpg
