Sweet11-87 Posted January 26, 2023 Report Share Posted January 26, 2023 had decent results this season with a small spread of 6 full body decoys but am thinking about making a small compact setup i can keep in 1 bag with my hide and just pick up and go kinda thing. as most of my shooting oppertunites have been fairly short notice small window kind of deals. do the goose wind socks work on their own as a half dozen or do you need a few and are they just for filling spreads out? they seem ideal but at £45ish for 6 just looking for advice before i buy and potentialy waste a few outings next season thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOXHUNTER1 Posted January 27, 2023 Report Share Posted January 27, 2023 I've got a dozen sillosocks and they work great. Have decoyed geese before with only 6 out though. Very light , ideal really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmm243 Posted January 29, 2023 Report Share Posted January 29, 2023 I use 6 sillosocks and 4 full body and they work fine. Usually try to put the full body decoys as the first decoys the birds will see on their approach then the sillosocks behind them. By the time they notice the difference it is too late. I will be the first to admit this is prob unnecessary and just something that is in my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salmo Posted May 25, 2023 Report Share Posted May 25, 2023 We shoot a large area in Scotland that ( all around us gets pressure ) and 6 seeks would just be ignored . We use 100 plus on pinks and in really hard still weather 40 plus enforcers . Anything else and you really have no chance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
