Drake, my uncle jsut recently bought a dozen Bigfoot snows and blues and we are going to run them in our field honker spread for a different look that not many hunters run around here in Iowa. In my opinion, I would put the snows all together, probably out on the edge of the spread somewhere. My uncle normally runs his spread basically in a line, thick in the middle and thining out towards the ends, hooked downwind slightly. Its basically a U, except the tips are pointing left and right, instead of downwind. We will probably run the group of snows off to one side or the other. Im not a prostaffer by any means, but am an avid waterfowler, hope I helped.

Put the snows on the upwind side of the spread, snows feed across a field at a faster rate then canada geese do. Snows also always seem to be the more competitive too, thats why you'll almost always see the snows land on the upwind side of the other geese in a field.
