Ruddy Duck Decoys

Postby ducks~n~bucks » Fri Aug 08, 2014 12:17 am

Are there any companies (other than carvers) that make these? I can't find them anywhere. It's not that I want to shoot ruddy ducks, but I have always seen ducks here on the lake intermingled with big rafts of coots and ruddies.

Even if someone does make ruddy decoys, coots would surely offer more bang for the buck from a visibility standpoint.

I've got coot decoys, I just want to try to make it more realistic by adding variety. I guess the ducks won't know until it's too late anyhow, though.

Clear lake holds a shitload of Ruddy ducks from what I've seen but maybe try some blue bills. Seems like they raft up out there too.

I've got bluebills and canvasbacks, I'm just trying to improve my spread even more (and no, it's not my dad that has canvasbacks and bluebills, it is me)

Game winner decoys from academy are really small. You could probly buy some of them which they're pretty cheap, and just paint them as ruddies. They do have shit ass water keels though.

Quit trying to re-invent the wheel.........There is a reason why you can't buy ruddy duck decoys.............Nobody wants them in sufficient numbers to justify making them.
