From decoy spreads and moon phases to shot size and sky busting, we’re diving into what’s real, what’s not, and what actually matters when it comes to killing more birds.

🎯 If you’ve ever asked “Does calling too much flare ducks?” or “Do you really need 300 decoys to kill geese?” — this one’s for you.
