Let me tell you guys a secret about the number eleven.

Ducks fly from canada to Mexico and see decoys set out in multiples of 12.

Now ducks can't smell very well but it's a little known fact that they are whizz es at math.

They see 12 and they know something is up.

Multiples of 11 are more natural and will fool em in.

That's why 11 is called a duck hunters dozen.

I think Smith had 11 plastic decoys for like $1000.00 but you got 15% off if you let him know

Well to be honest, 11 are worth more than 12 because they are so damned effective.

Also, never use the 5 note hen call. They've got that figured out also.

You can go 6 or 8 or hell even 4 but never 5.

It's simple math really, but they can handle it without scratch paper.

even numbers are the way to go, on calling.

Oh btw. Scientific studies confirm that ducks think that hunters who only use whistles are a little dooshy.

Y'all keep using 11, I smelled this trend comin' and I've moved on to the next big thing. I'd explain it but it's complicated. Think about prime numbers, the Pythagorean theorem, backdraft velocity and ground swell.

Blaze orange is the best thing to wear duck hunting. Ducks know that anyone in camo will shoot at them.

The way some of the teens that hunt with us water swat, 9 maybe the new 11.



Shopping with your husband is like hunting with the game warden.
Experience is what you get, when you didn't get what you wanted.

Live decoys are the way to go. Go catch you some park ducks with NyQuil-soaked bread, then tie them up in your favorite spot. Eliminates the need for calls, mojos, and a jerk rig.

Just make sure you only have 11.

^ But then again you might need a few more just incase you water swat a few of your "decoys".
