Flocked Decoys

When the mornings start to cool off and the leaves show just a hint of gold, you know it’s time to dust off the decoy bag and get ready for another season in the blind. Flocked decoys are a favorite around here, and for good reason. That velvety coating isn’t just for looks—it knocks down shine and glare, making your spread look more like the real thing when the sun hits it or the dew settles in. Folks who spend their dawns tucked into cattails or hidden along the edge of a flooded cornfield will tell you, it’s the little details that can bring those wary ducks and geese in just a bit closer. Flocked decoys are a solid investment for anyone who’s tired of birds flaring at the last minute, or for those just looking to up their game this fall.

Whether you’re a seasoned waterfowler with a trailer full of gear or just getting started with a handful of decoys and a borrowed call, there’s something satisfying about setting out a spread that looks sharp and realistic. Flocked decoys fit right in for hunters who want to give themselves every edge, especially as the migration picks up and birds get wise to the usual setups. They’re also a thoughtful gift for that friend or family member who’s always talking about “next season”—the kind of present that’ll see plenty of use and maybe even help fill a few more tags. Beyond hunting, some folks use flocked decoys for backyard displays or as part of a rustic, nature-inspired décor, especially around the holidays.

Taking care of flocked decoys is a bit different than the plastic ones you might have tossed in the back of the truck for years. The flocking can stand up to a lot, but it’s worth giving them a little extra attention—store them dry, brush off mud or ice after a hunt, and keep them out of direct sunlight when you’re not in the field to keep them looking their best. Many hunters swear by them for late-season hunts when birds have seen it all and a little extra realism can make all the difference. Whether you’re setting up on a riverbank before sunrise or gifting a set to the next generation of hunters, flocked decoys are a practical, reliable choice that’ll help make memories for seasons to come.
