Decoy, Scaup (Drake)

Entry/Object ID

4.44.11866

Description

Silhouette decoys like this one are easier to pack in and out of hunting areas than more dimensional models. Many ducks can be lured in using decoys that are simply enough of a duck shape to be convincing as they approach the water. This decoy imitates a male Scaup, but there isn't enough detail in this stylized carving to determine if it is a Greater or a Lesser Scaup.
