Duck hunter special. Decoy edition
Posted on 10/17/12 at 6:33 pm

I know I'm over thinking this shite, cause I'm trying to kill a duck! I just bought some new pro grade decoys. I am putting the strings on them. My question is do you guys tie the string to the front of all your decoys or tie some in the back? I have a few sleeper and feeder decoys, should I tie them in any particular place?
I usually mix it up, but bought some high dollar dekes and wonder if it matters

4/5 out of every dozen I'll drill a hole and tie them from the back. Only time you'll really see a large group of ducks all facing the same direction is when they're spooked

When ducks are all facing the same direction they are scared and ready to fly away. I have some tied to the back.

This, AND they will likely be facing into the wind for a few reasons.
1. If they heard something, it would more likely come from the upwind direction.
2. It is much easier for them to lift into the wind.
If you have them all tied in the front. they will face into the wind.

Always tied them all from the front, and we've never had problems getting limits. But, it probably wouldn't hurt to mix it up a little.

We tie all of ours in the front but I don't really think something that small matters. If the ducks want where you're at they don't care where the decoy weights are tied on to.

Go buy a mallard machine. Nothing worse than hunting on a calm day with no movement in the decoys.
Also, fix up a jerk string.

I have the higdon pulsator ii. It's kinda loud on a dead calm day. Anyone else use one?

Out of 100 or so I put out 20 will be looking the other way.
