The tule duck decoy is still being made and used today by Native hunters, especially at the Stillwater Marsh in western Nevada. Duck skins from earlier kills were stretched over the decoys, making them very lifelike. In even earlier times, the waterfowl’s feathers were woven onto the decoy & tied on with hemp strings. The heads & necks of some were painted to match the colors of the duck species. In doing this, the hunter made the duck decoy appear very real, and the waterfowl would then fly into the zone within reach of his bow and arrow.
