We don't hunt the big flocks, our area is outside of the major flyways and we don't see the hundred plus flocks flying ver too often.
That being said, we usually shut off our waterfowl hunting by October, .
A big spread for us would be 4 dozen dekes with a small group of snows and specs on the margin of the flock.
Works super for us.
