we're just using available cover. fenclines,draws trees, etc. we usually put out about ten dozen dekes, that helps alot. but i think the biggest help recently is the decoy pattern. i've used the fish hook or "J' pattern for years. we started useing a modified "X" pattern lately. i roll the ends of the x around so that the gees have plenty of landing areas. the rolled ends tend to make them land right in the dekes versus landing farther out. the end pattern looks more like a swastika shape.
its been an exceptionally good year so far. we don't usually get good cooperation from the geese till after the first of the year. but this year they were here and dekeing well earlier.
