Duck Decoy Placement – Spinning Wing Motion Decoys

As I talked about in an earlier blog post, leaving a clear path for the ducks to land is key to getting birds to finish.  Today we will take a look at a little more finer point of decoy placement.

So, we know that motion in our decoy spread in important, and we just dropped some coin on our new fancy Mojo duck decoys.  But where should we put it for maximum effectiveness?  It is obvious to some, and not so much to the rest of us, but place that spinner as close to the blind in your landing zone as possible.  I usually aim for it to be 10-15 yards max from the blind.

Think about it...  If the thing works as well as advertised, the birds are basically going to want to be landing on top of it.  If you put it 40 yards from your blind, the ducks are going to try to land 40 yards away all day long!  I want my Lucky Duck to be in the exact place that I would love a duck to attempt to land.  Give it a try and notice that higher quality shots result.
