They passed the real test

[David Ludington]

So my son Hunter and I are out in the back float testing some Mallard, Pintail and Canvas Back decoys I just finished. As we sat there watching the breeze bob them up and down I noticed a pintail getting shallow in the puddle and begin to tilt slightly. I was about to walk down and put in deeper when Hunter said, "Dad, look at this"! A pair of mallards decoyed into the puddle 10 yards behind our blocks.
First pic is of the blocks....second of the real birds behind our blocks (might have to enlarge that one, my camera on my phone is not the best)

Great pics Dave and a real form of flattery! I'm sure Chuck will jump in and save you. Wait until you get his bill. He isn't cheap! You have a space between in your file name extension and cannot... Pat

Dave~

Great looking stool!

With that leaning Pintail, I could see a caption contest...

I think he's whispering to the other drake: "Ya know, there are some REAL Mallards in the next pond over."

All the best,
