Decoysforless.com is based in Nebraska, and as Nebraskans we know a little bit about decoys and duck hunting.

Nebraskan territory is right smack dab in the middle of the central flyway!  Ducks, geese and other waterfowl migrate through the state on their journal from their home turf in eastern and central Canada, the northern parts of the Great Plains and even parts of Alaska to their winter nesting grounds in the south and southwest.  Those who hunt in Nebraska can find whatever kind of waterfowl they're looking for: mallards, mergansers, blue-winged and green-winged teal, pintail, wood ducks, mottled ducks, canvasback, white-fronted geese, Canada geese, snow geese, and Ross’ geese.

The Platte River has always had large numbers of both ducks and geese, but other Nebraskan rivers will also see their fair share of waterfowl during the season.

For those of us fortunate to know where to go, backwater areas and wetlands that can be found on the sides of the Missouri River can be relied on to produce huge numbers of both ducks and geese.  
In addition, the Nebraskan Sandhills serve as both a nesting habitat as well as a place waterfowl like to touch down while on migration.

October 1 is when the fun usually kicks off and duck season begins, although seasons can differ year-to-year by region and species.  An early Canada goose season, designed to help reduce local "nuisance" populations, has been scheduled in September in recent years.  Waterfowl hunters can sometimes get in some spring goose action and help reduce the light goose population that tears up nesting grounds in the Arctic.

It's always a good time to pick up another four-pack or two, and with the prices you see here, there's no better time than now.
