MeanGreenUnseen 1 Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 Hello everyone, I'm a young "Decoyman" from the Netherlands. A Decoyman is someone who uses (tame)ducks and a structure to catch wildfowl, consisting of a central pond and radiating water-filled arms. Recently I found out that England has it's own duck decoys and I'm hoping to come into contact with people who know more about this. I wonder if in the UK it is legal to use the duck decoy as a hunting method. Decoyman is a dying profession and I'm trying to keep it alive. My dream would be to maintain several duck decoys throughout Europe together with other hunters and outdoor enthusiasts. I hope I made some of you interested in this and I would love to tell more about this wonderful profession. Thanks for having me on this forum. Greetings from Holland Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MeanGreenUnseen 1 Posted August 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 Thank you for your reply Forest of dean redneck. Sadly enough I do not own one at the moment, but I do know how to work with them. A Kooikerhondje is a very enthusiastic little dog and also a wonderful type of breed to go on a small game hunt with. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MeanGreenUnseen 1 Posted August 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 Thanks everyone. @ Matthew Roots Hunting in the Netherlands is nearly impossible with all the rules, high costs and too few hunting grounds. I live in Noordwijk(flowerbulb region), close to Leiden and The Hague. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MeanGreenUnseen 1 Posted August 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 @dazbrowne 13 How funny is that! Hope you had a great time here in the Netherlands. I'm in Leiden quite often. Leiden is beautiful right? The old city centre with early 17th century gates and medieval churches. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
