Too Many Decoys, if that's even possible.

[Two Barrels]

I have a ton of decoys that never see the water and just take up space in the garage. I will be thinning the herd after the season. I often find myself using the same bag with the same dozen blocks. Some days only 3 or 4 will be put out, other days I might use more than a dozen.

The question for you all is what species and quantity should a man keep on hand for a season of SC duck hunting? If you start with early teal season and go all the way through January, how many and what species would be in your spread? In any given year, we may hunt a coastal marsh, a lowcountry swamp, an upstate beaver pond, and a river or two.

It's not possible. Might as well hold on to them all.

12 Higdon Mallard Battleships and call it done.

Ya don't need teal, don't need woodies. Ya do need blacks and some divers that will do ya year round.

Whitewaterduck will probably be contacting you soon.

I'm not a " one species fits all" kinda guy. I try to mimic where and how the real birds sit. If I'm on the coast I'll use teal, wigeon, black ducks and gadwall. Any other time I'll use various combinations of the above mentioned, plus wood ducks, ringnecks, coots, and bluebills, depending on where I'm hunting.

Rarely use mallard decoys, but when I do I pull out the 4 or 5 old corks I have. Love those decoys.

Negative. I have well over 1000. Some get used more then other but I have something for any situation.

Agreed.

I don't have a thousand, but I've got enough to make it happen, be it scaup or pintails.

Same here, from corks to plastics, I've got it covered. Yet, I haven't put out more than 15 decoys the past three years. Today was, 3 blacks, 6 wood ducks, 2 teal and a pintail.

3 avian x blacks, 8 gadwall and a handfull of teal cover most of what i hunt. But just incase i have several dozen divers, few dozen mallards, 6 woodies, 8 dozen coots, and a shit load of other randoms
