Last year (my first year)I did mostly pond jumping but I did go out on a few hunts with a partner that had decoys and a dog. I watched him and helped him put out decoys. I know what he does andwhy he does it.
I'm getting some decoys in and I've learned the basics of calling. Now I'm ready to go out and see how many ducks I can get to flare from my set-up.
Seriously now, I want to know what you think is the most important thing to do to your decoys to get the birds to commit.

Can gadwall, wigeon, mallard, pintail, and teal all be in the same spread?
Do divers have to be seperate from puddle ducks?
