Every season I like to add a decoy or two to my rig to update it, and maybe retire one or two. The first duck that I ever made was a black duck, and I don't think that there is a more handsome duck or decoy. This one is a cork body which I think is really ideal for a good working bird. Just the right density, texture, durable and at 50 yards looks pretty darn close to the real thing. This one should be in the water when the season opens back up here in VA in the middle of the month. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52ee708ae4b08d6717e43640/1418695515665-RMPXD5IOYUH4DUIVT91H/image-asset.jpeg Workshop Now - Black Duck Season Late fall always gets me excited about duck season.
