The use of duck decoys can be traced back to ancient times. Historians believe that the earliest known use of duck decoys dates back to the 2nd century BC in Egypt. These early decoys were made of reeds and were used to lure ducks into traps. The use of duck decoys spread throughout Europe during the Middle Ages. In England, decoys became popular during the 17th century, with many aristocrats and landowners constructing elaborate decoy ponds to attract and capture ducks. These ponds were typically situated on natural migration routes, and skilled decoy men would use a combination of calls, nets, and live decoys to lure ducks into the pond.
The cruelty is evident here. The threat is harsh and the words are harsh-sounding: Tolkien ends the passage in a rush of hard consonants and a sentence that falls over its own commas and plunges headlong to its conclusion in the Lidless Eye.
We can perhaps see these attributes most clearly when we consider the single-minded intensity with which the Witch-king of the published The Lord of the Rings pursues the goals and desires of his master. We re still lacking any specific indications of location or even time even by the fourth re-writing of The Lord of the Rings the idea of Angmar was notably absent TI 59 , but we are prompted by this phrase to consider the Wizard King s potential relation to those kings of old with whom Aragorn claims kinship.
These ponds were typically situated on natural migration routes, and skilled decoy men would use a combination of calls, nets, and live decoys to lure ducks into the pond. The use of duck decoys in North America can be traced back to the early 17th century when European settlers arrived. Native American tribes had been using various hunting techniques, including the use of decoys, long before the arrival of Europeans.

The decoys used by Native Americans were made of various materials, including wood, and were often positioned on the water or in trees. With the development of new materials and techniques, duck decoys have evolved over time. Today, decoys are typically made of lightweight materials, such as plastic, and are incredibly detailed to mimic the appearance of real ducks. Additionally, modern decoys often include movable parts or features, such as spinning wings or motorized movements, to further enhance their effectiveness. Overall, the use of duck decoys has a long history that spans across different cultures and time periods. From ancient Egypt to modern-day hunting, decoys have remained an important tool for attracting and capturing ducks..
