More Information
Through the decades, North American waterfowlers have devised many decoys and many decoy strategies for luring ducks and geese into close shotgun range. Inventive minds and trial-and-error testing have conjured up decoy systems for small ponds and marshes, large open lakes, coastal bays, flooded timber, dry fields, and other waterfowling settings. Author Wade Bourne, a regular contributor to Ducks Unlimited magazine and a longtime waterfowler, takes the mystery out of using decoys, exploring everything from the history of decoy making to modern decoys, styles, sizes, rigging, movement, as well as a wide variety of effective decoy spreads from some of the country's most successful waterfowlers. Detailed descriptions and drawings of layouts make this the best how-to decoy book ever.
