At this point you no doubt understand that the ADU batteries tougher enemies drop can be thrown at the ADU to heal its health and get you more scrap. This is a core mechanic of the mode. But what you almost surely do not realize is that they can also be thrown at decoys and turrets to heal them when they are damaged.

I carved my first bird, a miniature black duck, with my father, Dr. George Ross Starr, Jr. M.D., in 1956 at nine years old. My father collected over 2,000 decoys in Duxbury, Massachusetts where he wrote "Decoys of the Atlantic Flyway".

Wildfowl decoys are exhibited in Dorset House, newly reopened to the public following a four-year meticulous renovation. Significant upgrades to its heating, cooling, lighting, security, and fire protection systems have been supported by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities and generous donors.

A key metric to assess molecular docking remains ligand enrichment against challenging decoys. Whereas the directory of useful decoys (DUD) has been widely used, clear areas for optimization have emerged. Here we describe an improved benchmarking set that includes more diverse targets such as GPCRs and ion channels, totaling 102 proteins with 22886 clustered ligands drawn from ChEMBL, each with 50 property-matched decoys drawn from ZINC. To ensure chemotype diversity, we cluster each target's ligands by their Bemis-Murcko atomic frameworks. We add net charge to the matched physicochemical properties and include only the most dissimilar decoys, by topology, from the ligands. An online automated tool ( ) generates these improved matched decoys for user-supplied ligands. We test this data set by docking all 102 targets, using the results to improve the balance between ligand desolvation and electrostatics in DOCK 3.6. The complete DUD-E benchmarking set is freely available at

Jim and Nancy Henry began operating Mad River Decoys in 1990 out of their barn, nestled in the Green Mountains of central Vermont. Since its inception, Mad River focused on created conservation decoys rather than decoys used for hunting purposes. Jim provided the master carving expertise and manufactured the polyethylene plastic decoys while Nancy specialized in painted the over 30 species they created.

The art of making and using decoys to attract birds is thought to have originated with indigenous hunters and artists at least 1500 years ago. Decoys are still frequently used in hunting practices, but scientists and wildlife managers also deploy them to attract a variety of species to safe habitat for conservation purposes.

All our decoys are shipped in protective bags that also provide protection during off-season storage. These decoys are durable and stand up well to field use year after year. Many of our decoys have been in service for over 10 years. Typical maintenance includes cleaning at the end of the season and occasional touch-up painting.

This hunt was a first for me as well, hunting with decoys. I brought along a hen and jake decoy to try to fool a big tom into coming into gun range. That morning, we arrived several minutes before sunrise. It didn't take long before we heard our first gobble of the morning. We hiked across a wide open cow pasture then set up along the edge of the woods. The two or three gobbling turkeys were just over the hill still roosting but lighting the timber up with the thundering sound of their gobbles. I set the two decoys just out in the pasture then got back into the timber getting prepared for the approach. This is where the learning experience began with hunting with decoys.

First, don't sit your decoys in the same area as the cattle. Because, apparently, cattle are a very curious animal. After making a few calls, all the cattle that were several hundred yards away when we walked in, had now made their way to our decoys. They circled them, smelled them, nudge them, and then eventually picked up the decoy off of the stake. Of course, this kind of ruined that set up. The two gobbling turkeys had gone silent. My father and I moved down into the timber and tried a different set up, this time without the decoys. We had stuffed both decoys up in some brush to hide them prior to making our next set up. Later that morning, my father harvested the first gobbler of his life.

A few years later, a buddy and myself witnessed my first successful hunt with decoys. After locating several birds the eve of Missouri's turkey season, we found ourselves set up early in a lush green food plot surrounded by timber. We arrived that morning to the sounds of a barred owl, the sounding off of the crows waking up for the morning, followed by several gobblers answering the commotion. This particular hunt we again set up a hen decoy followed by a half strutting jake decoy. A few minutes into the hunt we had a live hen fly down behind us then come into the decoy setup. She milled around the hen for several minutes before heading towards the direction of the approaching gobblers. Once she got fifty yards or so away, I made a few yelps on a diaphragm call. This brought the hen back to the decoys to show her dominance towards our hen decoy.

Meanwhile, the gobblers are still getting closer to our set up. I began making a more aggressive series of cutts and yelps on my call. All this created a heart-pounding hunting experience. The hen was answering back and the gobblers were gobbling at everything that made a sound. Finally, after what seemed liked hours, four gobblers appeared at the edge of the field. I made another call after my first sighting of the strutting toms, which instantly made eye contact with our two decoys. The birds came running across the field looking like penguins waddling across the ice. After they got within shooting range, my buddy and I whispered to each other, "You take the one on the left, on the count of three."

Both of us simultaneously shot, both taking mature toms. His weighed 21 pounds with a 10.5-inch beard, and mine weighed 18 pounds with a 9.5-inch beard. Both excellent birds for southern Missouri river bottoms we were hunting. I have used decoys ever since that hunt.

There are several things that I have learned over the last 10 years while hunting with decoys: placement, how many should I use, how far out away from you should you place the decoys, and quality makes a difference.

I always try to place my decoys in an open area (field, open woods roads, etc). I want the turkeys to be able to see my decoys from several yards away. If a gobbler comes in looking for a hen or another gobbler, you are taking the chance of him not seeing anything then leaving before you can get the shot. I also like to place my decoys so that they look like they are trying to leave. For example, if placing on the edge of a field, I will put a hen closest to the woods, followed by a half strut jake decoy. This creates urgency for the gobbler to get to them before leaving an area.

While spring turkey hunting, I always use one hen and one jake decoy. This is because I can attract hens or gobblers. If a dominate hen comes in, she can help bring a gobbler into range by her being present. The jake decoy is used primarily to make a mature gobbler aggravated. When a gobbler comes in, then sees a young jake already with the hen they come in swinging. If I am fall turkey hunting, I will use up to four or five decoys to create a flock, since turkeys are traveling together during that time of the year.

Over the past few years, the technology of decoys has come a long way. The realism is unbelievable in the newer decoys that are on the market now, lifelike head features and feathers that look like you could reach out and touch them. Plus, the newer decoys will last a lot longer. Being made out of better plastics, they will take the abuse of being thrown around in your truck year after year. And take the abuse of a gobbler fighting with them. I am hunting with a new decoy from H.S. Strut called Jake and Susie Snood. They have lifelike feather detail, made of EVA rubber and weigh less than two pounds. There are many good, quality decoys on the market. Choose which one you think will work the best for you.

If there is one thing I can say I've learned while turkey hunting, it is that decoys can make that last piece of the puzzle to a successful hunt come together. A decoy is designed to attract turkeys while at the same time keeping their attention away from you. This is especially true when hunting with kids or a first-time hunter. Decoys will allow you to get away with a little more movement as well as provide some entertaining hunts for young hunters to enjoy.

The most important thing I want to share about hunting with decoys is SAFETY. As a hunter, make sure you identify your target before shooting. This, again, is another reason for setting up decoys in an open area. That way they can be identified by other hunters as well.

Also, use a bag of some sort while transporting your decoys. I use a green bag with carrying straps for my decoys. I always put the decoys in the bag head first. The red, blue, and white colors of the head need to always be covered. These are the colors hunters are looking for, so keep them covered.

But there was something about the swamp woods that morning that turned all of that on its head, so I called my friend Tom Boozer, a decoy carver from Yonges Island, South Carolina. I ordered a rig of six working decoys: five wood ducks and a snazzy hooded merganser drake that I bet will help suck ducks in as a confidence decoy. Boozer has half a year to carve and paint my birds, and I have half a year to pay them off. It seems like a good arrangement.

Anyone who has pursued waterfowl over decoys knows the textbook habits of the different birds they hunt. There are the diving ducks that usually fly low to the water and commit unsparingly to blocks set on broad, often roiling waters. In contrast are pintails, which notoriously approach a puddle duck decoy rig with frustratingly high, arching circles before, sometimes, lighting just beyond gun range. Then there are the September flights of blue-winged teal that oblige a spread from every possible direction, entirely unconcerned that man, beast, boat, or machine may be in plain sight among the decoys. 589ccfa754
