I have all the decoys I need but plan on limiting my spread to groups of threes and fours of as many species as I'll need to look natural and attract birds. I'll choose a blind or island near the closed zones and add some geese to the spred for effect and a possible shot. What can you tell me about species selection and spreads? The weather forecast is cloudy and no wind.

Go check out the blind averages for the season. Don't go on what happened the last shoot day. You never know what kind of hunters where there the day before. Some times its not a good reflection on how that perpendicular blind can produce. You can also talk to the folks at the check station the night before and early that morning. They are some nice helpful folks........... Worse case you could always invite me.

Definitely worst case!
How do you hunt a "perpendicular blind"? What's it "perpendicular" too? I've never shot this particular refuge, so these "perpendicular" blinds sound strange.

They're like regular blinds, you just have to shoot at a different angle.

Freezer wrote:I'm going Friday afternoon. I'll use my standard spread wiith about 2 dozen decoys. A doxen sprig including shaker and feeder butts. I have a half doxen coots as confidencwe decoys and I'll have them and the feeder buts on a jerk string. I'll alos throw a couple shaker discs since there will be no wind. If I don't get a limit early I'll spend the day so I'll try to get a blind close to the closed zone. I think I'll leave the goose decoys behind since the major goose there are Shy Carp (Snow Geese) and I'll need a lot of them, that I don't have. Thanks tou the folks who gave me real feedback. I read it and did research on the DFW website to figure this trip out.
Freezer wrote:I blew it! I partnered up with a man about seventy who though a good guy with a great dog is stuborn and set in his ways. He wanted Blind #1 and swore it was a mallard hole. I didn't take a shot. We had a few spoonies come through and I really avoid shooting spoonies. The Check station posts from Wednesday said the main ducks shot were gadwall and spoonies. It was an ok hunt I just wish I had stuck to my guns and went to the southern blinds, they were shooting OK. Live and learn. I appriciate the advise here and it saved me a lot of work carrying goose decoys. There were a lot of Snowies and Specs with a few Blues in the mix. Not one Canadian. No geese came in range of us.
