Silos are a great additive to a spread, the trouble ive had with trying to use them alone is they pretty much disappear when the geese get over them lol. Now we use a 50/50 shells and silos and it seems to work pretty good.

I use silos quite a bit and they work well. The best IMO are the Real Geese Pro II's, and I have some Big Flock silos as well.

You need a lot but they are cheap, and you can handle them yourself. When you place them remember what one previous member said, they disappear when the geese are over head, they will also disappear as they swing if you have them all facing the wind. Place them so when the geese are low no matter where they are they see some decoys.

Painting counts!

Real easy to pack, not much room to keep them, light, great for filling out a spread - what's not to like?

Silo's are amazing! A couple of pointers. Put pairs in an L shape. I will try and post a pic if I can. What it does is when geese are turning or looking around it makes it look like the geese are walking. Geese don't look down when straight overhead so don't worry about them "disappearing" it is when they are turning is when they lose sight. So, if you take 2 and set them up in an L it looks like the geese are moving. A big key is to never face all your decoys into the wind. The only time geese do this is when they land or are about to take off. Face them in all different directions. Hope this helps.
