Fast, Flat and Foolproof
Two-dimensional decoys, also known as "skinnies," have been a staple of duck hunting since the days of hand-carved Masonite and plywood decoys. While full-body decoys have become increasingly popular, they often present challenges with glare and frost that their simpler counterparts avoid. A well-planned rig of a dozen silhouettes, properly spaced, can be devastatingly effective.
Quality Over Quantity
Ask any veteran duck hunter about calling, and you'll likely hear the same advice: less is more. Excessive calling can spook ducks faster than attract them. For inexperienced callers especially, staying quiet can prove more effective than risking poor calls that might alert birds to danger.
No Batteries Required
Before battery-powered spinning wing decoys were a thing, hunters relied on jerk cords to create realistic water motion. This low-tech solution is where motion decoys got their start. And they're often more effective than its modern counterparts, as battery powered gadgets can sometimes appear unnatural to birds. An expertly used jerk cord creates subtle, lifelike movement that draws in ducks without raising suspicion.
Blend In, Bag More
"If you're not hiding, you're not shooting" is one of duck hunting's most important maxims. Whether you're hunkering down in a blind or jump shooting in an open field, remaining hidden is crucial. Ducks have eagle eyes and will quickly spot anything out of place in their environment.
