Hardcore Waterfowl Duck Butts Omg So Cute

Casual observers will note that they're adorable. Hardcore waterfowlers will note that any decoy method that mimics the behavior of a flock of calm, happy ducks will help you fill your tag. That's why Hardcore Waterfowl just introduced its new Field Series Mallard Feeder Butt Decoys, which come in a two-pack for just under $25 (cuteness included free). This set, which includes a drake behind and a hen posterior, is a laid-back decoy pose that tells incoming birds that the coast is clear. After all, ducks only feed when they feel there's no danger.

When you're setting up a decoy spread, you want to avoid the "wooden soldier" look--e.g., decoys that look too static and uniform to be real. Ducks have excellent vision, so it's always a great idea to add realism to a decoy spread and set yourself apart from the mundane setup the guy across the marsh is relying on. Hardcore Field Series Mallard Feeder Butt Decoys dynamically imitate the feeding behavior of dabbling ducks by generating natural tip-up feeding motion. (The little gizmo at the bottom of the decoy is Hardcore’s "WhaleTail Keel," which generates movement in even the lightest of breezes and current.)

Hardcore Waterfowl duck butts are molded with a durable plastic blend that's designed to survive being banged around in truck beds and basements season after season. The decoys feature extremely lifelike paint schemes and realistic detail, giving those previously hunted and "well-educated" ducks a reason to relax and work into your decoy spread. MSRP $24.99; HardcoreWaterfowl.com.
