Goose hunting.

Does anyone else have a problem with having 2 spreads set up? I feel like a lot of the geese on the map land at the other spread (usually tons there if I fast travel) therefore less spawn and the spread I'm at is pretty dead.

Same thing happened to me, start out at 6:00 and by 7:30 the skies would just dry up. Fast travel to the tent at second blind to find 20 - 30 birds lounging around. I moved all my decoys to one spot, since then no slow down till 9:30- 10:00 typical slow period.

How much space do you put between the decoys in your spread, and how many do you use?

I started off with one complete setup just east of the main river. While going through the Geese Missions, it calls for one setup to the East and one to the West. Didn't have the money for another full setup so I started of with half a setup on each side. The following week I bought 2 complete setups for each side till I discovered this issue. So now I have 60 total decoys randomley spread out.

What I ended up doing was puting full spreads across the field from each other. Just an fyi, it's pointless to have that many decoys in one area, maybe try puting the full spreads about 150m from each other because the attraction maxes at 24. http://www.thehunterwiki.com/index.php?title=Waterfowling

I hear you on the setup placement. HooCairs has a good Goose setup with 4 full spreads. I may get mine to look like his, but this works fine for now.
