Sea ducks are tough to find and they are expensive. I have been trying to get a pair of Old Squaw for a couple years. I do have a few divers. My divers are in this video.

I just saw this, when the other fox killed a duck I used it for bait. I hung the duck about 2 feet off the ground and put a couple leg traps out. It tried for the duck and got caught in both leg traps.
