Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in rigging cost per decoy?
Rigging costs typically include the cord or line, weights or anchors, and swivels needed to keep each decoy properly positioned in water or field conditions.
How many decoys do I need for a spread?
Small water spreads often use 1-2 dozen decoys, while field goose or duck spreads can range from 3 to 10+ dozen depending on hunting pressure and target species.
Do decoy bags really need to be budgeted separately?
Yes, quality decoy bags protect your investment from damage during transport and storage, and are often overlooked when budgeting for a new spread.
