Product Name: Greenhead Gear® Sleeper Style Full Body Mallards
Product Features and Benefits:
- Anatomically perfect body styles
- Vibrant late season paint scheme
- RetractaBase™ for fast setting and picking up
- Drop-down HotLegs™ for added realism
- Packaged 2 drakes/2 hens
Practical Product Uses:
The new GHG® Sleeper Style Full Body Mallards add an entirely new dimension to your decoy spread. The sleeper style body posture portrays a bird that is content and comfortable within its surroundings while roosting. For the best results, use the sleepers along shoreline edges, ice, sandbars, or even mix a few into the water. Placing a few sleepers within your spread will provide an irresistible look for all stages of the hunting season.
Tips for Using the Product:
Mallards typically congregate in tightly packed groups when resting and sleeping. For the most realistic spread, group the decoys within several inches apart along the water’s edge. The sleepers also work great in areas where only several inches of water is present. In shallow water areas, placing the decoys off-shore will give approaching birds the utmost confidence. In areas where the water is slightly deeper, add a few floaters to give the ultimate dimension.
For conditions where water bodies are partially frozen, the sleepers can also be positioned along the water and ice edges. Under ultra-cold conditions, Mallards will typically lay flat on their breasts to retain body heat. To replicate this look, I prefer to leave a few of the RetractaBases™ in the stow position to emulate birds lying on the ice.
In addition, use a few Active and Rester Style Full Body Mallards to offer an all around live flock appearance.
Additional Notes:
To best protect your decoy investment, use the GHG® Slotted Full Body Duck Decoy Bags. Not only will it protect your decoys, it will make storing and hauling easy.
