    buy hens, these are of more use in september when the drake mallard are in eclipse plumage.

    Personally I'd buy hens. Calls are all to mimic a hen mallard 99% of the time so a hen decoy matched with a hen call will draw mallard in.

    i normally keep the teal in a tight group to one side of the pond with the mallard having the rest they would be in seperate groups .
