A decoy duck is a fake duck that people make out of wood. They’re often used in waterfowl hunting as a way to attract real ducks. Historically, these ducks were made from Atlantic white cedarwood, which can be found in the eastern coast of the U.S., starting in Maine and ending in South Carolina. Some early ducks were made of cork.

Este pato decoy, feito por Thomas Carver, quebrou um recorde quando vendeu por US $ 270.000. A Copley Fine Art Auctions intermediou a venda, que foi o preço mais alto para um pato decoy. Outros decoys também vendidos por grandes somas de dinheiro no local da Copley, com um John English vendendo por US $ 246.000 e um Charles Wheel por US $ 198.000.
