I don't have a lot of room. I've been looking at the Silosocks but some have told me they aren't that great and that I should only look into full body deeks. Thoughts?
 
Well, here's my 2 cents......If you going to go big (50 dozen+), then Silo Socks are probably fine.....If your going small (1-10 dozen), then your better off going as realistic as possible.....If your really really in to it, then you go big with full body & quality shells.....Another thought is if you've got friends that are going to hunt with you, then you combine your spreads and have that 100 dozen you may need.....Also, where do you plan on hunting?.....In Canada, we're normally on the X and we can drive to it.....So there's no worries about how we're going to get the big numbers out......If your thinking Wister, then a very large cart is a necessity......All things to consider when you start getting into snow goose hunting.

Hopefully, Kid Creole will chime in. He's a snow hunting guru.......I'm a honker hunting guru (inside joke)...... :D

The smaller the spread the better the decoys need to look. Every snow goose decoy made has it's weak side, Sillosocks without wind to move them don't look that great. Full bodies are always my favorite decoy, if space is an issue consider 5/8 shells might be a good choice

More spread pics. We adjust the spread to what we saw while while scouting, so that is the reason for so many different spreads
