http://www.gourmetfly.com/Somme.htm "The uninitiated I talk to often take offense to the use of the live decoys thinking it cruelty to the decoy ducks. But, the fact is these ducks are carefully bred, highly revered and extremely well cared for. The more obvious reason that live decoys are not allowed outside France is that they contribute to a lethal attraction for birds flying over. Their calls are beautiful and exotic as they reach a fever pitch of excitement in unison as wild ducks or geese fly over the area. The beauty of the interaction between the “private ducks" as Michael pointed out (Nick’s brother and a dedicated water fowl hunter who came to stay with us later in the day) and the wild fowl is an intoxicating and pleasurable phenomenon that must be experienced to be fully appreciated. Only by sharing the experience, observing the care and dedication of French waterfowl hunter’s, can one reach a competent judgment about virtues of the sport and the implications for the delicate game.

I have 15 mallards in my yard all year till they migrate south for the winter. They usually leave right around thanksgiving and come back in march. Started out with 2 that nested in the pond now they nest there every year. They call to ones overhead and sometimes they come in. Kinda cool to sit on the deck and listen to them in the evenings. |
