TO LURE THE 
CUNNING WILD FOWL 
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 609) 
ties almost always circle and come to 
decoys against the wind. Puddle ducks 
come any old way; and decoys should be 
set so as to get them wind-bound when 
they try to make a quick get-away. It 
is surprising how quickly one of them 
will get out of gun-shot range when fav- 
ored by the wind, and how slowly when 
held back by it. 
A harness ring — iron, four inches in 
diameter — with one or two bars of lead 
twisted around it, makes a good anchor, 
for the reason that in picking up, it 
can be easily placed over the head of a - 
decoy and will prevent the anchor lines 
from tangling. One or more decoys 
should have a staple driven into the low- 
er part of the breasts, with a long line 
running through it; on one end a heavy 
anchor, the other extending to the blind. 
By this means the decoy can be made to 
swim and dive. In a calm day, also, it 
will put life into the whole flock. This 
is a great help because it is not natural 
for a big bunch of ducks to sit still, 
heads erect, none swimming, none diving, 
none feeding; and passing flocks notice 
it — particularly the wise ones who have 
been under fire many times before, and 
there are veterans in almost every flock 
— but this diving decoy fools them all 
and often spells the difference between 
success and failure. Like everything 
else, it is all in knowing the game. 
A S an illustration, I recall an impor- 
tant match I won by head work 
and the use of diving decoys. The 
local shooters in those old days were 
jealous of newcomers, and those hunting 
on this Illinois lake were no exception 
to the rule. They forced me into a match 
with their best man— not that it took 
so very much forcing. I was quite sure 
I could out-gun and out-shoot him, but 
knew he could beat me calling, besides 
being better acquainted with the lay of 
the land — two important items. 
It was agreed that a duck. was a duck; 
all to count alike. He went to the marsh 
after teal or mallard; I, to a pocket 
where for a week I had been watching 
a lot of blackheads — ring-bills — feeding. 
The day was unpleasantly warm and 
still. “You don’t think them ducks will 
work a day like this, do you?” a friend 
of the local man who accompanied me in 
the interest of fair play remarked. They 
didn’t — at least, not in the marsh — but 
two diving decoys fooled the ring-bills. 
They liked that pocket and came back 
to it regardless of calm and sunshine, 
with the result that the local gunner 
wasn’t anywhere when we counted up 
at night. He wasn’t satisfied, but said 
it was worth being beaten to learn that 
trick with swimming and diving decoys. 
Some hunters string ten or a dozen 
decoys on a long line with a heavy anchor. 
These often drift together and tie them- 
selves into all sorts of impossible knots. 
I believe each decoy should have its own 
individual anchor. 
When picking up decoys, the easiest 
and quickest way is for the shooter to
