Unfortunately with snows you do kind of need decoys, and in the rice that means a lot of them. On the other hand you can easily use rags and shells to cut down on your costs and do just as well. Full body decoys are nice, but are not necessary to attract birds.

Shoot the Specs and forget those (flying carp) Snows. They are not worth the trouble of cleaning and trying to prepare for the table. I know I'm going to hear from someone that has a great recipe, but I've tried most recipes over the past 40 years without any success. I don't shoot them unless my shooting partner wants them. Now Specs on the other hand are the BEST, period.
