"Before coming on board with Blackwater Decoy Company, we'd put out over one hundred of the other guys dekes on our big water hunts.  Today four dozen Rough Riders do the same job and suck the Bluebills right in.  Whether it's dead calm or three foot rollers, the Rough Riders look like the real thing.  The shooting has never been better." - Captain Jeff Kraynik, Professional Guide, Florida

"I anticipated good action, but the results were overwhelming!  As we pulled our rig, our group chatted about how realistic the Blackwater Bluebills had appeared on the water.  It was quite evident that the Bufflehead were attracted to the heavy white patches on the sides of these blocks.  We would surely have lost the big gang of Buffs had it not been for our up-wind knot of Blackwaters." - Bill Saiff, Outdoor Writer and Host, Cabin Country, WPBS

“The best I've seen...Rough Rider decoys look like ducks, float like ducks and are certified tough!  What more could you ask from a decoy?  I use the best and I’ll be proud to hand my Rough Rider decoys down to my grandchildren. These decoys will be passed on to future generations.”  - Eli Haydel, President, Haydel's Game Calls

“I’ve hunted ducks for more than 40 years, and during that time, I’ve probably shot over virtually every brand of decoy on the market.  Believe me when I say that no decoy I’ve ever used are as good as Blackwater Rough Riders.  I love how they look in a set up, and I’m really impressed about how tough they are.  When it comes to my hunting equipment, I’m a bottom line kind of guy.  And the bottom line with Blackwater Rough Riders is that the ducks love them.”  -
Marty Fischer, professional wingshooter, shooting instructor, outdoor writer and photographer, and host of Shotgun Journal TV show

"After duck hunting our [whole] lives we've finally found a decoy that would actually set in the water...just like a real duck.  Durable, realistic, the best decoy in the world, The Rough Rider." - Jason Housley, Host, The Hunter's Journal TV Show

"We use hundreds of Rough Rider decoys and last year we never had to replace a decoy for damage or being shot." - Scott Drummond, President, Pintail Peninsula, Stuttgart, Arkansas

"I have 27 years experience hunting waterfowl.  I have never seen anything as remarkable as your product with its lifelike similarities in size, shape and color.  Your product has cut down on the number of decoys I take into the field with me and cut the amount of calling I do in half." - B. Gregory, Professional Guide, Texas

"Their realistic floating ability gave a sense of contentment to finish the birds who normally flare like roaches when the light comes on...ducks swim around them in cult fashion." - Joe M., Guide and 2-time State Calling Champion, Illinois

"...using (Rough Rider) decoys...made for some REAL shooting!" - Tom Knapp
World Famous Exhibition Shooter, Minnesota

"I just want to thank you for introducing me to the toughest decoy I have ever seen." - D. Dehner, Iowa

"I carve decoys myself and I think these are awesome.  I can't get a cork bird to do what yours do.  You have a great product and I know they will be in my spread for many, many years.  Duck hunters desire the best." - M. Crank, Virginia

"I have had less calling required to get birds to commit." - V. Thornhill, Virginia

"...the most realistic decoys I've ever hunted over...they are excellent to put in the sweet spot." - D. Jay, DVM, Louisiana

"...far superior in appearance to any decoys I own and I am amazed how they float, even after being shot." - D. Dennis, Arkansas

"I got my dozen Mallards today.  They look great.  I snapped in the keels and tied on lines and took them to the lake.  They float like real ducks and look like ducks.  I like the texture of the decoys.  Easy to pick up and hold on to.  And they feel indestructible (solid like they are)...I added another dozen Mallards to my order...Good job guys!" - A Satisfied Customer

"I was in northern Wisconsin, and hunted morning and evenings with your decoys (the two green wing teal).  I brought in many birds...including wood ducks, blue and green wings, and mallards.  On two occasions I had woodies swim right into the decoys from a long distance away. Your birds looked great in the water!  I'm very happy with them..." J. Beck, Racine, Wisconsin

"I've had some good success this year and your teal birds have been part of it every time.  Mostly hunting local ponds they work great - I have strung them together and throw four at once.  Works well." - J. Beck, Racine, Wisconsin
