Deeks decoys

[mschliebs]

I scored a dozen Deeks duck decoys at the San Jacinto water fowl clinic on Saturday. Has anyone had experience with them? The instructor says he uses the Coot / Mud Hen version and discribes them as "comfort decoys" as Mallards and others consider them to be safe company, so to speak.

Just don't shoot cripples on the water when they swim amongst your decoys :P



Are you asking if we have experience with decoys? I have put out Coot decoys before as a confidence decoy. In theory they could help. In general we have a nice mix of mallard, sprig (get the white chested bulls on the outside of your spread as white shows up from a long way out), gadwall, widgeon, and teal.

I GREW UP USING THEM THEY ARE EASY TO CARRY AND HAVE WORKED WELL FOR US. I STILL HAVE 2 DOZEN . MAKE SURE AT END OF USE TO PULL THE RINGS AND DRY THEM OUT AND BABY POWDER THEM. I USE A FORE AND AFT NEWSPAPER BAG AND CAN CARRY 6 DOZEN WITH NO PROBLEM. SLIDE YOUR SHOTGUN THROUGH FRONT STRAPS AND REST ELBOWS ON IT AND IT IS A PLEASANT WALK TO BLIND. ALL THE WEIGHT IS EVENLY DISRIBUTED ON YOUR SHOULDERS.
