Snow goose floaters

Postby 3geese4me » Sun Sep 14, 2014 9:51 am

Was thinking of doing something against the grain and running a small (3-4 dozen) spread of snow goose floaters exclusively for puddle ducks. My thought it to use all goose decoys and no duck decoys at all. I know canada goose floaters work, but what about snow goose floaters?

Has anyone done this? or am I thinking too far outside the box?

I've not spent much time observing how ducks respond to snows on the water, but I know this strategy works very well in the field. Only one way to find out I guess...
To achieve success, one must possess dedication, passion and a boatload of decoys.

The magic that they cause in the field is what prompted me to perhaps try it on the water. My question or concern is that how do ducks that don't normally visit a field spread take to them? Mainly talking about gadwalls, wigeon, gwt, bwt and the regal spoonbill.
