They run and gun on big blocks of timber which is why the have they feel so strongly decoys are stupid because in that situation they are.  Same for Dave Owens types because they hunt from South FL to Washington, Why would they sit and wait behind some decoys?   Some guys have the only 100 acre family cattle farm with 13 trees to hunt and running and gunning with no decoys is not really the best option. Sure you can do it but you bump the birds to the next county..   If they want to blind hunt with decoys I got no hard feelings toward them. 

I will be in AL the 31st with no decoys in hand.
