"Contains more how-to infomration on waterfowl hunting than any book on the subject published in the last 30 years."--Chuck Petrie, Executive Editor, Ducks Unlimited magazine
From the Publisher
Ducks Unlimited announces the publication of the first book in more than 40 years to offer waterfowlers new methods for using decoys.
The book, Decoys and Proven Methods for Using Them, by veteran waterfowler and regular Ducks Unlimited magazine contributor Wade Bourne, promises to replace Ralf Coykendall’s waterfowling classic Decoys and How to Rig Them, first published in 1955.
“Much has changed since those early days when wooden decoys were ‘state of the art’ and ‘adding a little motion’ meant simply rigging hand-pulled feeder or swimmer decoys,” says Bourne. “My goal was to cover all the basics of using decoys, including the improvements of the past half century. ”
The heart of the book features a wide variety of duck and goose hunting layouts from the country’s best guides and freelance hunters. Included are more than 30 detailed diagrams and descriptions of spreads and strategies for hunting ducks and geese in small ponds and marshes, large open lakes, coastal bays, rivers, flooded timber, agricultural fields, and many other waterfowling settings.
Says Bourne, “Many experts shared their advice on a wide range of waterfowling situations. In that sense, this book really represents more waterfowling know-how than any one person could hope to compile in a lifetime of hunting experiences.”
The new book offers the latest advances in decoy technology, including recent developments in decoy materials, keel designs, and mechanical motion decoys like the RoboDuck and Fatal de DUCKtion wing-spinners. “The idea is to help waterfowlers make sense out of the many decoy products on the market, so they can apply them to their individual hunting needs,” says Bourne.

Great Book,
This review is from: Decoys and Proven Methods for Using Them (Hardcover)
I love Ducks Unlimited and the great work they have done in North America. I try to support them where possible by buying their products, and i picked up this book to read on a plane a while back. It is very, very informative and has lots of very useful knowledge that I will able to apply in the field. If you are serious about decoying birds it is worth having this book.
