Yes. In short, spend a few hours in early light studying where they feed. Think about wind direction and where the birds will fall. If an open bank, set up a few birds either side of where you want them to land, tight patterns close to the landing zone, others dispersed. If divers, which decoy readily, set up in straight lines a good 20yds or more on long lines, a few lines of white and black or brown painted well rinsed detergent bottles would do for divers. Lots and lots of patterns to try on US websites, try looking at Ducks Unlimited website. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
