Going to build on the windsocks/sillosocks vs. full bodies debate that got going on another thread. What's everyones take? Obviously you can build huge spreads for a lot less cash with windsocks, but then again you have realism with full bodies, if I had the money I would definetly prefer a spread of full bodies.

For me it really depends on the situation. I would prefer, if funds allowed, around 250 fullbodies and 200 Deadly Deacoys, in a combination. This would allow realism in the kill hold plus a lot of movement. Plus if the conditions are to poor  to move the FB's into the field I could just use the Deadly Decoys.

That sounds about right Cory, I guess if you had the money and the time a huge full body spread would be hard to beat, but for average guys like us a combined spread sounds like just the ticket. A few hundred sillosocks to have a large spread and full bodies around the kill hole for realism. This is probably what I will end up doing, I am in desperate need for a snow goose spread next season.
