[QUOTE="Duckslayer100, post: 189583, member: 1485"] In my old job I got to duck hunt all over. One of the places was out east in PA. They are big, big duck carvers on the east coast. The guy I was with had an entire rig of hand-carved, hand-painted decoys that he just left in the middle of the Susquahana River all season. They used the rig to scull. Had their sculling boat anchored upstream and wait for ducks or geese to land in the rig. Then just unhook and scull down on them to get the shots. It was a helluva lot of fun. Then a couple years later his entire rig was stolen. Other than nostalgia, I can't imagine taking care of, hauling or managing a spread of wooden decoys that size, let alone a dozen or so for my pothole hunts. The feller gave me one to use and I put it out one time just for the heck of it and that was it. It was neat to see, but otherwise yuck. Plastic may not be as traditional, but it's a helluva lot more practical. [/QUOTE]
