It's hard to believe that five years have passed since the launch of Duck Decoys Shop. Although it was originally started launched by a single duck decoy collector seeking to help out others interested in the hobby, it quickly grew into one of the world's leading sites for finding duck decoys for sale. Now, thousands of collectors and individuals interested in duck decoys visit the site for finding both information and decoys.

Unlike other decoy sites, Duck Decoys Shop offers their visitors new and old decoys for sale. With that said, most of their customers come for antique decoys, as these are the ones that hold the most value. Unless you're a collector who's familiar with the hobby already, you might be surprised to hear that duck decoys have been around for thousands of years. Although no one knows who the first person to use a decoy was, Native American hunters are depicted using them in ancient paintings and carvings.

It should go without saying that age is one of the most influential factors in determining the value of a duck decoys. A general rule of thumb to follow is that the older a decoy is the more money it's worth. There are always other factors that come into play, such as who carved it, what condition it's in and the details it contains, but generally the age comes into play the most.

Unfortunately, however, finding old decoys can be a tiresome and downright frustrating task; after all, they aren't readily sold at sporting goods stores, so where you supposed to find them? The staff over at Duck Decoys Shop noticed this problem and set out to create a solution for individuals looking for old, antique duck decoys. In the five years they've been in business, I think it's safe to say they accomplished this.

Even if you only use duck decoys for hunting and not collecting, you can find one of the largest selections available the Duck Decoys Shop. Whether you're looking for Mallards, Pintails, Canvasbacks or some other duck species, you're sure to find the best deals at Duck Decoys Shop. With that said, you can save some money by purchasing used decoys instead brand new ones. As long as they aren't heavily worn, they will offer you the same level of realism as brand new decoys.

If you ask 10 different duck hunters what the type of decoy spread is, you'll probably get 10 different answers. Some hunters swear by using a spread that contains at least one or two of every duck species around the region, while others use spreads that consist entirely of Mallards. The bottom line is that you simply won't know what works and what doesn't until you try it for yourself.

Duck Decoys Shop emphasizes the importance of testing out your spreads before placing confidence in them. Start small and slowly work your way up into larger, more complex spreads. If you aren't careful, having a spread that doesn't look natural will actually scare away ducks instead of attract them.
