Welcome to this week's foul Friday Tip of the Week, brought to you by H.P. outdoors.

Here's your host, Josh Palm, and Dan Harushka. Hey guys, welcome to this week's foul Friday tip of the week.

This week we're talking silhouette decoys.

The number one most important thing that you must remember when you're talking about silhouette decoys,

and this comes from Big Owl himself, a big owl's of silhouette decoys. The number one most important thing is confidence.

You have to believe that your silhouette decoys are not going to let you down and they are going to pull in the birds.

A lot of guys want to say, that flock flared because the silhouettes are shining.

You can't believe that. You got to trust in your spread. We're going to tell you how to set the spread right now.

The next thing you want to consider when you're setting your spread is space.

Unlike full bodies, where a lot of guys want to sock them in real tight, make it look like a big black ball in the field.

Silhouette decoys are completely different. You want to have lots and lots of space.

And when I say space, I'm talking three to five steps at a minimum between each decoy.

That way you give lots of room for the birds that are approaching to see various birds,

various shadows from the birds, things of that nature.

So remember, lots of space

when you're setting the when setting the birds the next thing you got to always keep in mind

is that you need more silhouettes than you do full bodies roughly Roughly one dozen full bodies

is going to be equivalent to about three dozen

silhouette decoys.

So make sure you have the numbers that you need

to fully support the amount of birds

you're looking to represent. A lot of guys want to know, well, why do I need so many more silhouettes than full bodies?
