Are foam filled decoys better?
A standard plastic decoy will have more feather detail and be more realistic. Foam filled plastic decoys will be a combination of the two, although they won’t last quite as long as burlap wrapped cork decoys and will float differently as well.
Can you fill decoys with foam?
If your decoys leak from an errant BB or two, drill a hole large enough to allow you to spray foam insulation into the body of the decoy. Fill the decoys and they’ll be riding waves this fall. If nothing else, give the decoys to a kid who might take interest in hunting.
How do you set teal decoys?
Set Your Teal Decoy Spread Close and Expect Birds to Land Right in it. However many decoys you choose, set them close to your blind. Teal aren’t as wary as big ducks, and you can bring them in close. Often, a flock will buzz in, dip over the spread and keep going, or splash in and flush before you know they’re there.
What is the best weight for duck decoys?
4 oz is plenty if you are going to be hunting in cover: timber, brush, or even rice fields. But in open water I use 6 oz weights or even some 8 oz. Thats because in open water you are going to be carrying your decoys in the boat and not on your back.
What decoys should I get?
Duck decoys come in many different species, and most are so realistic looking that from a distance you can’t tell them from real ducks. For those hunting puddle ducks (dabblers) like mallards, teal, wigeons and pintails, a good set of mallard decoys will generally get the job done.
Will mallard decoys work for teal?
Mallard decoys work fine for teal. So, too, will a mix of mallards, wigeon, gadwall and shovelers. Again, the little ducks really don’t seem to care. Bigger decoys — that is, mallards — are just that: big.

How many duck decoys do I need?
If you are going to hunt ducks in a serious manner, you’ll usually need at least two dozen decoys to start out. And more is better, since for waterfowl there is safety in numbers. Unless you throw your decoys in a boat and haul them around that way, you’ll need a good decoy bag or two for carrying them.
