[downwind]

Have seen a number of posts saying "leave the shells at home." I quess I don't understand why they are perceived to be so bad. They are realistic looking as birds sitting in resting position, and the Fearther Lites move in the wind. Can anyone give a bit more insight why they are frowned upon?
(also posted this as a reply to another post, but afterthought made me make it a post in itself - sorry)

The number one reason we have gotten rid of most of our shells is the bulk & weight of transporting them. To carry and put out the most decoys in the fastest amount of time we've gone to almost 100% Northwinds.
