I live in Texas and have shot 6 woody's in my day,the most beautiful bird on the plant IMO. I have a book from S.Dakota that says wood ducks only hang out with other wood ducks and they mate for life.So I have a pair of woody decoys in my mallard spread!They never land,but will come in and check them out,like teal..They also like ponds and creeks,tasty bird with great tastes!....Good Luck!
