RE: creek ducks?
Yes you can stalk them in my state. In yours, i don't know the rules and regs. What I do with woodies is just have at most 5 or 6 woody dekes seperated from the main spread. Usually a trio of 2 drakes/1 hen, and then a pair 1 drake/ 1 hen. If they see your dekes and the dekes are in their flight path, they might stop. Its always uncertain what one of those little critters is gonna do.
