Most used decoy type?

I never really bought teal, I mean I have some but they're all painted like coots. I buy straight bigs. If you're going to spend the money on dekes, get the most bang for your buck. A half dozen big ducks are more visible than a dozen teal. And if you think a teal will only decoy to teal dekes, you are giving them way too much credit..

If you have a group of teal deeks in your spread, teal will tend to go to them. I did say tend to and not everytime.

No doubt they will. I'm just willing to trade more visibility for my buck in place of the chance of landing teal where I want them to land. A teal gone' teal. They'll generally give you just as many looks with teal dekes than without. Might not land exactly where you want them to, but if you replaced all your teal dekes with bigs, who knows how many more ducks will notice your spread from a distance and possibly come give you a look. Now if I was in a hole that I knew they were coming to with or without decoys, and wasn't as worried about spread visibility I'd be fine trying to direct traffic with the teal dekes. IMO
