How Do You Set Duck Decoys On River Sloughs?
My favorite duck hunting spot is in flooded timber but until the floods come I look for back water dead end fingers to set my duck decoys on rivers no wider than 60 yards with tree lined banks. My favorite duck hunting spot is in flooded timber but until the floods come I look for back water dead end fingers to set my duck decoys on rivers no wider than 60 yards with tree lined banks. After feeding in the fields ducks are attracted to these areas for a place to loaf and rest. Duck decoy placement is important to attract ducks on these back water sloughs. I like to put out 2 dozen G&H super magnum mallard duck decoys and place into two or three family groups as this is natural for ducks after they land to group up. As an added enticement I will put out 2 widgeon, 2 pintail and 4 teal just outside the mallard decoys as ducks of different species stay to themselves. You want to leave a landing hole between your duck decoys for the ducks to land in about 20 to 25 yards away from your shoot
