How much stock to do you put in decoys matching your desired duck?



Not much. Most species that you want are pretty sociable so they don't care what the species is. What's really important is your variety and spread.

You also want your variety to match your location. Like being in SWLA it would be really stupid to load up on goldeneyes and canvasbacks.

yeah, Like most I bet I have a majority of mallards and as they age/wear they tend to look more like blacks.

I bought some gaddys, pintail, and widgeon to throw in the mix and seem to get more gaddys to commit now.

Our mix of ducks is usually Gaddys, widgeon, woodies, green wing, and divers. We occasionally get some mallards and pintail.

I normally bias my mallard spread towards hen decoys because they are more 'generic' looking. Sounds like maybe I don't need to worry?

Movement in the spread is much more important that decoy quality, in my experience.
