mazzgolf Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 Riddle me this. Can someone explain to me what these loops are for? These loops are on the top of the tails of all the drake mallard decoys (no loops on the hen decoys; they are only on the drakes). And below the tail is this cylinder piece (on both drake and hen decoys) - no idea if that even has a purpose. But the loops look like they must have a purpose.
Hitemnasty Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 Drake mallards have looped feathers like that.
mazzgolf Posted December 13, 2016 Author Posted December 13, 2016 (edited) Drake mallards have looped feathers like that. Really? I never noticed! How about that "thing" on the bottom? Edited December 13, 2016 by mazzgolf
Hitemnasty Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 Not sure about that maybe just part of the molding process?
JerseyJaysTaxidermy Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 Yup, mallard drakes feathers are curved in the back.. http://www.jerseyjaystaxidermy.com Jersey Jay's Taxidermy
vdep217 Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 The bottom is a drain hole for water that gets in the body of the decoy.
mazzgolf Posted December 13, 2016 Author Posted December 13, 2016 The bottom is a drain hole for water that gets in the body of the decoy. hmm... it looks like a tube that was filled in with some white filler material. Are you supposed to drill out the filler material to drain it? Or does that material let water seep out of it? Because its molded with the whole decoy - the tube itself isn't removable. But it definitely looks like it was filled in with that white filler.
BowhunterNJ Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 Wow, never knew the drakes had that curve feather section in the back 1563621 1
