Is it a good idea to have a mix of decoy sizes in your spread?

Is it a good idea to have a mix of decoy sizes in your spread; i.e. super magnums, magnums, and life-size decoys together? Is it better to have a mix of decoys from various manufacturers in your spread?

Decoys

Thanks for the great website and all the info. I became a new member last month and I can't wait to read your magazine. I'm currently deployed and miss all my outdoor activities. Delta Mag will give me something to read and get ready for future hunts.

Thanks again. CPT Jeff Nelson

Captain Jeff,

Thanks for your question and all you are doing on our behalf in Iraq!

Jeff, I commonly mix a variety of decoys in my spread to bolster a more lifelike appearance-different sizes, different manufactures etc. I find that the different head positions, color schemes, body types make the spread more natural and that is of course what we are all after!!!

Thanks again Jeff for your brave service to our country and we will be excited that you can be back in the duck blind next fall!
