I'm need some advise.... We hunted last week with a spread of ducks and Canada goose decoys the ducks worked perfect we limited out in 15 minutes. We saw a ton of snows flying low wanting a place to land so the next day I added snow geese decoys to our spread. The ducks flared and I had a single Canada goose working but never would commit. Do you think it was the snow decoys? Are they too white? Should I leave them out of the spread? Put them together off to the side?? Any suggestions...

I don't know about snows, but canadas do not like to make their final pass over ducks (not saying its impossible, but most will land away from ducks).
You need to give canada's their own landing zone with no ducks in the landing zone.

Doubt it was the snows but you never know! Did you accidently leave your headlight on, that'll sure flair the birds!

I think it could have been the mojo didn't run one on Tuesday and like I said done in 15 minutes, ran one Wednesday and nothing wanted to commit May also be why I couldn't get the single canada in.... So would you place the snows and Canada's together or seperate everything have snows together ducks together and Canada's together all seperated

Not an expert on geese but what I'd do is have three different spreads, with three different landing zones. one for the snows, one for the canadas and one for the ducks. I'd have the geese on the outsides and the ducks in the middle.JMO

My best guess is the mojo. Geese don't like them, and they can flare ducks. In theory, Goose decoys should help, but they shouldn't be right up against your duck spread. Geese and ducks don't hang out next to eachother
