Heritage Mint Ltd Hand Carved Loon Decoy with Glass Eyes.

Decoy carver and call maker Fred Zink says that hunters should thoroughly clean their decoys before each duck season. "Wash them with water, but don't use soap," Zink advises. "Most soap contains ultraviolet brighteners that make decoys look unnatural to ducks. But it is a good idea to wipe down colorful areas like a mallard drake's head and chest with Armor All."

If your decoys still look dull after cleaning, it's time to touch up the paint. You can get paint kits with the right colors and helpful instructions from Cabela's and Mack's Prairie Wings. You'll need several paintbrushes from about one inch wide for painting larger areas down to a small, tapered artist's brush for details like the white ring on a Drake mallard's neck and the black edges along wing patches.
