So Far:
1dz FFD feeder lessers
1dz FFD active lessers
4 FFD FB Lookers

Where should I go from here? Mostly hunting by myself w/ dog (unless someone is looking for a tag along!) I really want to have a killer spread and am working all the OT I can to support it. Ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Martin

Maybe someone would trade a couple resters for a couple of your lookers. Otherwise more feeders.

Are you hunting mainly fields or water's edge??

If hunting waters edge I'd suggest some sleepers or resters. But if you're hunting fields get more feeders like the others. Also consider some FFD Shells, you get numbers without the bulk if hunting by yourself alot.

I'll second Scott on that one. Those were my thoughts exactly.

2 dozen more feeders. I like to have majority of my spread feeders and resters/sleepers

I would also have to agree with the others, some more feeders an then maybe some FFD Sleeper shells or resters

I prefer quality over quantity which is the direction you've gone, nicely done. If your primarily hunting fields I would buy more feeders to increase your feeder to active/looker ratio. In a field setting I like to run around 80% feeders with the rest being active/looker/sleeper. Sleeper shells and sleeper/rester fullbodies are a great addition for later in the year when it gets cold and the geese stay in the fields longer. If you hunting water or water edges I'd invest in some pro-grade floaters and sleeper/rester fullbodies and shells.

Good luck and lets see some pictures of the results.
