Yip, could be the worst combination as far as opening is concerned. Birds dispersed onto new wet areas while hunters look up at empty skies. Not so bad if you hunt regular over the season though.

That's what I'm hoping for, but with that massive surface area it will take a fair volume to increase the depth.

I'm in the same boat, waters edge was about 100m from the maimai on Saturday, only has to come up a little bit though. I figure the birds will still do a fly by if I put the dekes on the mud, probably won't land though. Fingers crossed.
