Hunting Duck Decoys – A Quick History Lesson
The first record of hunting duck decoys goes back as far as the early as 20th century. Those records show that 11 hunting duck decoys were found in a cave while mining back in 1911. They were found along with ancient artifacts in a Nevada mountain cave that was used by indigenous Americans for probably nearly 3500 years according to archaeologist.
The hunting duck decoys were made from marsh bulrush mainly but had real duck feathers attached to them. They were dated back as far as 200 A.D., and carefully buried in individual wrappings in a pit dug into the floor of the cave. These decoys are still down in history as being the oldest decoys recorded.
The first decoys to be made in mass quantity came from Salt Lake city, Utah and they were made mainly of rubber although earlier decoys were carved from wood, which was hard to keep a float as they would either tip over or become water logged. A newer invention for a duck decoy was having them carved from cork, which would float without a problem, and they were lighter to carry out hunting then the traditional wooded decoys. The only problem with cork decoys was that they didn’t last very long. Nowadays these cork decoys can be worth allot of money to antique dealers and decoy collectors.
As we walk down memory lane there were another type of hunting duck decoy made from Urethane Foam and Styrofoam but they both were easy to damage and not very durable.
With a demand for a lighter more detailed and more realistic looking decoy the next generation had to very durable and mirror waterfowl. Blow molded decoys made of high-density polyethylene now fit the bill and with the many different variations on the market you have many to choose from. Variations now include: Motorized decoys, Wind motion decoys, floaters, resters and magnums (Larger then normal) hunting duck decoys that last allot longer then any other decoy in history.

The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.

I have been blogging since 2007. For years I made a few bucks here and there with Adsense and some affiliate sells, but I wasn’t making enough to quit the day job for sure. I tried getting traffic from Adwords, SEO, Yahoo, article marketing, social sites, and even email. The problem was that I just couldn’t get enough traffic to really make anything. Then I found out about a new way to buy traffic for so freaking cheap that it was nuts. If you’re sick and tired of only getting a handful of visitors to your blog, check this site out. You will go from a few dozen visitors a day to thousands for pocket change —> Cheap Traffic Secret

Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
