Maybe leave your pit decoys in place, and put a small set of 8-10 (of your best) decoys out in a spot down the bank (with you in small boat blind), like the birds didn't want to land near the big blind, and lit short.......as the bastages are want to do. Sometimes a small change like this can fool educated birds, and it's not that much work. I might be misunderstanding your answer of no, but you mentioned 100 yards, as if that might be the extent of your blind placement in the area? Seems very frustrating to be seeing lots of birds in the area, but not seeing them finish to your set.

Doesn't take a whole lot, just enough to keep it from looking like Walmart's roof.

Last week had the "redfish jubilee" ON down near the shell beach camp. Happens every year when it gets really cold and water gets low. See below
The Canada geese (and ducks) live on the roof of walmart in the spring. They raise chicks and when it's time to come down they go down thru the gutter downspouts.Rick wrote:just enough to keep it from looking like Walmart's roof.

Maybe you need to make it look MORE like a walmart roof. @
They showed it on the TV news here. It was cute as heck but... We get ducks in weird places like stranded under a grate on the interstate. They nest in some odd places and defend their turf. It's a big problem in the lah-tee-dah neighborhoods.DComeaux wrote:aunt betty wrote:The Canada geese (and ducks) live on the roof of walmart in the spring.
