as soon as you do shoot a bird or two,add them into the decoys.
steel #3 work good #2 even better
if lead is allowed #3 is awesome.
squauk to get thier attention then shut up...if you manage to drop one out of sky wounded...DONT RUSH OUT TO DISPATCH... often its mates will circle straight around and be easy pickings...Im not saying leave wounded bird in pain for long,but a minute wait could allow you to bag another 3-4 birds really quickly.
if only have mallard decoys...make half your hends into white heads...Ive decoyed parries with lump of punga log with white paint on wing slashes and a crude head poked into place.
dispite all the rumours,most birds are good eating,the younf ones beak/bill will break if held up by bottom half.older birds still good eating,crockpot is your friend. if you cook a corned beef/silverside in water,take out beef and add your frozen parrie,leave overnight and flick switch on in morning,by dinner time it will be falling off bones,dont be afraid of some sauce when serving,it can be a tad on dry side.
