You might get some to come in if they have been using the ditch but you would probably be better off and have better luck if you had at least a half dozen decoys out. You still have to be where the ducks want to be.

allseason is probably right, although...
if you have mallards comming in just use the "lonesome hen" call.
you don't even need the one. i've done it lots. the do come but you do have to have birds in ear shot.
good luck on the solo hunt

RE: hunting with one decoy
i don't think you'll have much luck with a single teal decoy. save up some money and buy a dozen for about 25 bucks. don't spend money on fancy anchors. you can use weedeater line from your parents for the cord.
