RE: Decoys
Me and G-Dawg put our 6 mallards, and used the Vortex and Dabbler opening morning.
Last Saturday we put out about 2 mallards, and some wood ducks.
I usually put out 18 mallards, (2 feeders, 2 sleepers, 4 drakes, 4 hens, and 6 magnums) but I just purchased a dozen bluewing teal, and 6 woodies. I might add them to the spread also.
Sometimes I think more is better...but other times, especially once season rolls along, I think less is better. The more decoys, the more chances for ducks to figure out they're fake I think.
