Yes you are on a great start. People think you need lots of decoys when 4 decoys is plenty. I run three dozen Dakota decoys (full body motion) but I hardley ever use them all until really late in the season. I have one cabelas blind and one finsher layout. I think for a layout just worry about if it is comfortable for you. Geese are based on decoy set up and movement not the size or color of the blind. I would say give it a go because it is truely a blast. Good Luck.

Like said before, your off to a good start. My friends and I use about a dozen full bodies with a dozen shells and kill around 300 a year. Numbers aren't as important as how they are set up. They should be set up in a U or J shape with the wind blowing towards the open end. Geese will land flying into the wind 90% of the time so plan your spread accordingly. My best advice if you can't afford a layout blind right now is to get a white painters suit. When there is snow on the ground you can put the suit and a white facemask on and the geese will never see you laying in the decoys. This is the only way we hunt in the winter. For early season though a layout blind is a must for field hunting. Hope this helps!
