? about decoys.
« on: August 19, 2003, 03:01:07 PM »
I have about 6 mallard decoys and 6 blue wing teal decoys. Can I use them together  in the same spread? Ive seen where some people have used 2 or 3 different types of ducks for there spread but I'm not sure if I can use these 2 together. Thanks for any help.

Separate them a little...

I'd pick a nice secluded spot, not too big water, and put the mallards in front of you and the teal a little to the side. Leave a spot for more ducks to join, bearing in mind the wind... and maybe you'll get some shooting!

Thank you Sean. That's what I didn't know. whether I could use them together. From the sound of it I can just put them in there own little groups and not intermingled. I will definetly give it a try this fall. Thanks again. :D

You can group them together but always put the other species at one corner. Or you can as Sean said. Both will work. :D

In my neck of the woods you can mix them to your hearts delight. My spreads have mallards, pintails, teal, widgeon and a couple coot all mixed together. Doesn't seem to bother any species.

Usually I mix ducks only when they are roughly the same size: mallards, blacks, widgeon, and pintails go together, but I put smaller teal off to the side by themselves.  The same with goose decoys; I'll put a few duck decoys out as well, but don't mix them together in a bunch.
