Thread: Black duck decoys are they worth it?

It comes down to preference, a lot of different thoughts behind it but one of the big theories is big water hunters used black ducks or painted a lot of decoys black as they were more visible from further away so had the added attraction.
I wouldn't say I like predominantly black decoys but definitely prefer to darken most decoys from factory. If you look at a mob of ducks at a distance you don't see a lot of color until you get a lot closer.
