In the realm of waterfowl hunting, visual realism and durability are paramount. Enter Higdon's Standard Shoveler decoys—an exemplary blend of vibrant authenticity and rugged endurance. These decoys boast a striking palette: deep blacks, vivid oranges, and crisp whites that mirror the natural beauty of the Northern Shoveler. Their distinctive bill shapes further enhance their lifelike appearance.
The foam-filled construction ensures these decoys are virtually bulletproof—a testament to their resilience in varied conditions. As any seasoned hunter knows, visibility is critical; here, these shovelers excel with bright white accents that not only draw attention from above but also entice a variety of other species toward your setup.
Traditionally overlooked in shallow water setups, shoveler decoys are gaining traction among astute waterfowlers for their effectiveness in attracting ducks from great distances. A dozen or so can transform your spread into an inviting haven where shovelers naturally feed and rest.
Designed for practicality without sacrificing quality, these standard-size decoys offer hunters a lightweight option that's easy to transport yet affordable enough to expand any collection without breaking the bank. Whether used solo at secluded public spots or as part of a larger ensemble to add diversity and numbers, they prove versatile companions on your hunts.
Setting up is straightforward with Higdon's self-righting weighted keel system which adapts effortlessly to various water depths. Additionally, the innovative keel clip simplifies short stringing in shallow waters—a nod to convenience when time is precious.
Each feather detail emerges through Higdon's proprietary UV painting process combined with expert carving techniques ensuring minimal glare even when wet—an assurance against fading or peeling season after relentless season.
This package includes two Upright Drakes, two Skimmer Drakes, and two Rester Hens—all crafted under Ducks Unlimited Official Licensed Product standards meaning each purchase aids vital wetland conservation efforts.
