fall snow hunting question?

In my experience the early fall snows are easiest, the birds from now till mid october. After that, their some of the toughest SOB's youll ever hunt, wayyy easier in the spring compared to late october/early november snows. They still get ALOT of pressure in the fall and when the numbers increase the hunting usually gets tougher.

I love finding a small pocket of less than 10K in the early season, can have some good shoots over these "small" flocks. But than again, id rather hunt snows over anything else.

With that spread your going to have trouble decoying them anytime. Not knocking you just saying

Just get in the good spot!!!!!!!

IMO, the easiest snows to decoy will be the last ones through in mid november, right before freezeup. These flocks will be nearly all juvies, and you can cut their ****s with a spread like you've got if you find them. You'll know you're in the right birds when you won't kill a white snow or whiteheaded blue out of and 80 bird limit. If you find birds like this, leave the robo, flags and other b.s. home. If you set up and the birds dont respond, you're a week to early and you're still hunting adults. I had a 6 bird day over thanksgiving acouople years ago, called my buddies cause I couldnt believe there were still adults around, and they shot 120 the same bluebird morning 60 miles north of me. Just goes to show that having the right birds is FAR more important than the right spread. Save your money for vacation time and gas.

Ditto.

Use the robo only is you plan on shooting ducks in your goose deke spread. I've tried the remote control robo, with only limited success.
