1. A decoy should never be visible while being transported. Never carry an
uncovered (identifiable) decoy any distance.
2. Whenever possible, set-up by a "stand" tree that is greater in diameter than
the width of your shoulders.
3. From your seated position, identify the clearest line of vision to your
front. Establish a "sight line" that allows you 100 yards visibility. Then set
your decoy(s) approximately 20 yeards from your position on the line.
4. Should you see another hunter (especially if he or she is close to your "line
of sight", call out to them in a loud, clear voice. Their presence has already
compromised your location and a "soft" call may only confuse them, rather than
alerting them to your presence.
5. If you are calling over decoys and then elect to move to a new location,
check carefully to ensure that no one is stalking your decoys. Check BEFORE
leaving your "stand" tree. Should you see someone in the area, rule #4 applies.
