    Learning that ‘decoy’ comes from ‘duck cage’ is extremely interesting!

    Fascinating but I don’t quite understand how the ducks are trapped. Do they throw a net once the ducks get into the smaller area?

        There is a video on the wiki page, essentially they lure/scare the duck down a tunnel made of a net with a trap door at the end and they can retrieve the duck there.

    This is very interesting but dang that Wikipedia page is kind of a mess compared to what I’m used to seeing
