Irrespective of the direction of the wind or the height or flow of the tides, you have no choice but to set out the decoys in the water before it and hope for a lucky day. In days gone by when unlimited baiting was permitted, this manner of hunting worked out more or less success· fully. No matter how blatantly your cover advertised itself or the state of wind or tide, those yellow kernels from some farmer's cornfield were an irresistible drawing card, and many a duck paid for his folly when he forgot all caution in the desire to fill his belly.

In building this blind there are a few things to reo member. First, is to keep it as low as possible. Don't pile up something that looks like an overgrown haystack and towers over the surrounding growth.
