Duck Decoys

Duck decoys have been used by hunters for years to aid them in their hunting expeditions.  Today, they are even more well loved with collectors.  The purpose of duck decoys is to lure other animals into the range of the scope so that the hunter can shoot the ducks.  In North America, the decoys have been used for over two thousand years or more.  The Smithsonian Museum in the US houses the oldest duck decoys that have been found in the United States, Canada, and other areas in North America.  

The Native Americans made the decoys by hand with wood that they carved into, or they would use straw to make the duck shape.  Many of the decoys that have been found are more elaborate than others, with more colors or details.  The more elaborate the decoy’s are, the privileged the value will be for collectors and even hunters.  Before making a buy, examine the decoy properly.  The earlier duck decoys from the 1880s through the 1940s had a larger amount of point.  The eyes were also made of glass and the bodies were weighted for the perfect amount of buoyancy.  

To find duck decoys, the best place to seek is in online auction shops on the Internet.  Make sure that you double check the seller’s certificate before you commit to the buy.  This is due to the fact that if you are paying for an antique decoy, it could really be a reproduction.  Thrift shops and flea markets are also valuable places for duck decoys.  These locations are usually the best spots for the nicest duck decoys.  Many of the items that you find are from estate sells that the recent owner had no control over.  This is a wonderful spot to find valuable decoys.  

Even though the materials used for manufacturing duck decoys have changed, the thought of the body style has not changed at all.  The modern decoys are just as effective as the antique versions.  When hunting in large water areas, the thought is that the more decoys used the better your chances are.  It is also recommended that you stray away from using the same decoy each time that you go hunting.  

When you are hunting in wetland areas, to ensure that the birds coming your way glide past your decoy, then you should set up your duck upwind from your location.  If you do not try this, then the geese and ducks will more than likely rest on the outer edges and this will limit your opportunities for shooting.  To ensure that the ducks you are hunting will not catch on to your trick, try to group your decoys according to their species.  This is due to the fact that birds typically tend to stay within their own groups when they are resting.  

As you have read, duck decoys are essential for geese or duck hunters, and are well sought after by collectors.  Whether you are collecting them or simply using them for hunting purposes, try to buy a wide variety of styles and colors.  As they say, you do not want to have all of your ducks in one row.

Stay our website to shop for duck decoys and antique duck decoys.

Alabama Hunting – How To Be Successful On Your Alabama Hunting Trip

Why is Alabama hunting such a well loved pastime? Quite simply, this is one of the hunting hotbeds in the country, and as you are about to find out, for good reason.

It is a haven for deer and birds, such as duck and geese, and while you won’t find a lot of exotic, larger game to hunt here, if you are content with the more traditional animals, such as deer, duck, squirrel, etc, then Alabama offers what you need.

First off, let’s start with duck hunting. Alabama is always considered a tremendous place for duck, and there are a lot of them in the disorder. The only negative about the sport is that you commonly have to have inclement weather in order to succeed with this, something that deters many.

When the sunny weather comes there will not be as many duck, and when the terrible weather arises, the ducks are out in force. Therefore, if you can handle the elements, then you will be successful with Alabama duck hunting.

Also, the longer stretch of terrible weather there is, the better your chances of getting a duck. One rainy day might not be enough to bring them in, but a period of several days to a week or more of terrible weather can often do the trick.

In other words, if you look out your window and see the sun bright, don’t bother going out that day. This is a sport that truly rewards the committed hunter.

As I stated earlier, ducks certainly aren’t the only well loved hunting game in the area. Deer are out in force as well, as there are almost 2,000,000 whitetail in the disorder. I

n other words, Alabama deer hunting is another thing you need to try if you are an avid hunter, and if you are a beginner, this is a tremendous place to learn the sport.

In fact, the disorder currently has the highest density of deer in the total southern tier, as it contains roughly forty five deer for each square mile in the areas that you can hunt for these animal.

But, should you be looking to go after male deer, as many more veteran hunters prefer, you will probably not find the pickings to your satisfaction, as Alabama hunting is notorious for having few bucks.

If you want to delight in the best possible chance of getting a deer in Alabama, here are a few tips that will serve you well. First off, just like any other disorder, make sure you are familiar with where the deer will be before the actual day of the hunt, so that you don’t waste your total day or trip trying to find a good place to hunt.

I would recommend you go check out the hunting grounds the day before you really start, figure out where the deer are most likely to be (i.e. where their watering hole is, where they are likely to go for food, etc) and of course, try and determine wither they live as well.

This will enable you to get in between their income area and where they need to get to for food and drink, and intercept them. This is a critical element for success.

All too many hunters just set up shop anywhere in the woods, and go the total day without seeing a single deer within striking distance. Don’t make this same mistake when going on an Alabama Hunting trip.
