I already asked my buddy who taught me almost everything I know about duck hunting, and I agree with his opinion, but I was curious as to what other guys thought. Can you throw too many decoys? If so, what do you define as "too many"?

There are a 100 scenarios where there are too many, 100 scenarios where you can't have enough.

I'll say when hunting a public lake

I agree 100%, now let the games begin with everyone's opinions as each scenario is explained here.

I hunted for years with only about a dozen, and a lot of times only used 6. I cannot ever remember having more than 2 dozen.

Give the birds whatever they want.

It depends on how many birds your seeing, weather, all sorts of different variables

Second split, i cut down 50%

Unless u go public bobby ray

8 to 10 dozen is a minimum I use at the coast.

Yes

I think it has more to do with how you place your decoys than how many you put out.

You can have to many, you can have too few, but 11 will always be just right

Being an old guy I agree with Wal 100%

Only on Widgeon

I have limited experience, but I would think you can have too many, but don't know what too many is. It is interesting to see the opinions on this.

you old guys need to watch out, us early 20's guys are coming for you and your crazy thoughts

And bringing 4 dz deks and 3 mojos with us

We are a little on the out of control side aren't we? one or two more dozen deeks would send us old farts right over the edge.

I'll send you a pic of the spread that BerettaOnyx686 ad myself put out this weekend, it will send you into a whirlwind of hate

Was it those fancy pants flocked heads on plasti mallards?

if you aint running flocked you aint right Elder...in my 22 years on this earth I have learned one thing, flocked decoys are the key when hunting. those old regular plastic or wood decoys shine to much and flare my birds when they are working. that flocking keeps the glare down and and sucks em right in. Most of the time my ducks only take 1 or 2 passes and they light right in.

another thing is that the flocking adds weight and helps my GHG ride better in the water. we stayed up late last night flocking BerettaOnyx686 decoys...we are ready to jam boys

You crazy kids

We are flocking the coots and the mojos tonight

how does the flocking hold up?
