RE: Is it worth calling without decoys?
 

Get you some bleach bottles and paint them the colors of a mallard, it might not bring them 15 yards from you but it will bring them close enough to you to shoot at. I started a kid out last year with one mallard decoy and five bleach bottles, he did pretty good for his first year of waterfowl hunting. Put the painted bottles next to the bank of the water, this way they will not flar off as easy and come closer. Pm me or email me and I will give plans to make your own silos .
