Understanding Duck Butt: Decoys, Posture, and More
Waterfowl hunters often position their decoys with rear ends pointing skyward to mimic feeding ducks – a technique known in hunting circles as the “duck butt” effect. This natural feeding behavior, where ducks tip forward with heads submerged underwater, creates a convincing visual signal that attracts passing flocks. Outside of hunting, the term also appears in discussions about human posture, specifically referring to anterior pelvic tilt, where the pelvis rotates forward causing the buttocks to protrude in a duck-like manner.
