Chet, Don't know if TX hunting is diff than in SD, but I have experienced flocks coming into my spread & then splitting in half, around it. Probably due to a less-than-perfect placement, but I have used this to my advantage. I sit about 30 yds off to the edge, camo'd up, and have had some pretty good results. This also works when the birds are real wary, where they fly low around the spread while deciding what to do.
