Beeline for the last decoy! – Another Insight Into Duck Decoy Spreads

As I was hunting the past couple days I noticed something that seems obvious now that I think back, but never really thought about in detail.  Ducks that are just flying by really seem to fly just outside your last duck decoy.  I saw it happen numerous times again the past 2 days.  Same thing for birds that were making passes on their way to what appeared to be a party in your decoys.  For those that have been duck hunting for a while, it seems more often than not that pass was their final one, and not the one where they turn on a dime and dump into your decoys!

So what is my point?  Make sure that your last duck decoy of your spread is within good range!  I made a point of keeping my last decoy 25 yards away from my blind and it paid off this weekend with those ducks just passing by.  I think if you watch on your upcoming trips to the duck blind you will notice the same.
