Here's what's left of my first decoy rig. Somehow none of the drakes remain. I carved these through the summer when I was 15 then shot over them that fall. Some were painted by my brother who would have been 10, so that's 43 years ago. Kind of dodgy-looking but we had no experience, patterns, or even electricity. We did have live models though because we fed wild mallards through the summer. The dekes worked well and it was pretty satisfying hunting over them.
