Seemed to work great for me last year everyone I seen seems to think need to go huge to get these smart birds but last Feb me and my boy ran as small as 2 decoys and pulled birds in..
We thought about that this weekend and almost did, but decided to put 120 full bodies out and spread them out wide in family groups. It looked a few times like we had the right idea but just couldn't get them to finish.
I dont know if it was lack of motion in the spead or the lay out blinds, we put the blinds back aways this time and had them covered real well so the birds would just focus on the spread, but i think sometimes they just set up to high.
Sounds like everyone in that area is having the same issue, we just need fresh birds.
