Here's a nice article about the discovery of the cache of decoys at Lovelock Cave. Apparently all 11 were packed into a basket and hidden by the owner. https://www.ducks.org/hunting/duck-hunting-stories/the-lovelock-spread

Don't forget that you can also kill waterfowl by hiding under hollowed-out gourds disguised to look like rocks, then pulling the birds under when they land. Beautifully illustrated in this 1578 engraving by Cornelis Galle (full image is at the Rijksmuseum). #geese #history #hunting #gourds #squash #art https://www.rijksmuseum.nl/nl/collectie/object/---3b7a5a974aae5cd92a1ed69a08cea2a4
