This guide details an expert duck decoy strategy from a Mossberg representative, focusing on increasing visibility and effectiveness. It highlights the importance of using a large spread (192 decoys) and strategically incorporating species like Shoveler and Pintail drakes due to their contrasting colors, which are more visible to ducks than standard Mallards. The technique aims to build confidence in approaching birds by mimicking natural diversity seen in various flyways.

This guide, presented by Jason Cruise for Mossberg, details how to optimize duck decoy spreads for maximum visibility. It emphasizes the importance of color contrast, recommending the use of Northern Shoveler and Pintail decoys alongside traditional Mallards. Drone footage illustrates how brighter decoys stand out more to ducks, leading to increased success.
