The Decoy Stacking Strategy

When storing your decoys, consider the following:

  1. Group Similar Decoys:
    • Sort your decoys by type (e.g., hen mallards, drake mallards, teal, etc.).
    • This makes it easier to identify and grab the specific decoys you need for your hunt.
  2. Stack Wisely:
    • Place the heavier decoys, like full-body decoys or those with weighted keels, at the bottom of the stack.
    • Lighter, more delicate decoys should be placed on top to avoid damage.
  3. Protect the Paint:
    • If your decoys have intricate paint jobs, consider wrapping them in soft materials like towels or bubble wrap.
    • This will help prevent the paint from chipping or scratching.
  4. Utilize Storage Bags:
    • Invest in durable storage bags designed specifically for decoys.
    • These bags provide protection from moisture, dust, and other elements.

The Importance of Proper Storage

Taking the time to properly store your decoys can significantly extend their lifespan. By following these simple tips, you’ll be able to enjoy your decoys for many seasons to come.

A Final Thought

Remember, your decoys are an investment. Treat them well, and they’ll reward you with successful hunts. So, next time you’re packing up your gear, take a few extra minutes to organize your decoys properly.
