Setting out decoys is as much Of
an art as making them, which Is
saying a great deal for with live
decoys forbidden many and devious
are the inventions to fool the birds.
Balsa wood, for those able to afford
the better stools. has taken the
place OF the white and red cedar OF
yesteryear. Movable heads that
may be set at various angles are
another innovation. but there Is q
doubt that creeps into the minds of
many that they are any better than
the old cedar birds.
Different sections call for different
sets. In the North Carolina sound
country. neither ducks nor geese
will decoy unless the stools are up
wind, for there diving ducks as well
as puddlers bank on the Canadas
loosening enough grass so that they
may feed without too much effort.
In this area the baldpate or
widgeon is the "poacher' and In
setting out decoys your good guide
takes this into consideration.
What will work in one place would
bring failure in another. 1t takes
keen observation or a local guide to
get the best results.
Care in Leading Necessary.
Leading, so they say. is a good
fault if any fault car be good, but
it will bring down more birds only
II the hunter and his bIndmate
pick their birds rightly.
The natural thing for the tyro Is
to take the lead bird If the fowl are
coming in his way. Instead, If he
would start his swing on the last
bird his fault of leading would give
him a chance at the bird ahead and
the continuance Of his swing for
another shot is an easy, smooth
motion. His companion should
start with the middle Of the flock
and swing toward the lead bird.
Leading is no more than a mathe-
matical calculation. It means get
ting your shot at certain point at
the exact time the bird gets there.
1t also means taking into consid-
Grafton the speed of flight of the
various ducks as well as the velocity
of the wind. Trial and error is the
only way to solve the problem.
