I've got about 6 or 7, I've got 'em in the console, not a fan of stuff up on the dash - probably why I don't have a lot. I don't hand 'em out, just not my gig, but don't disparage anyone for doing it.

It’s crazy how much ducking can be a regional thing. Near me it’s really only the dealership or family members that do it (if you’re in a jeep family). I have a decent build with my gladiator and never got one from a stranger. Drove my mothers stock ‘13 wrangler sport to lowes when visiting her and got ducked in the parking lot

Married 18 years, I definitely don't get ducked enough....


All kidding aside, 4 Jeeps over the last 18 years and only 1 duck. Happened last year.

I prefer no ducks. They are "participation awards" no thank you. It's never been a goal, and never will be a goal. Want a good feeling? Reach out to a veteran, or a kid in the "Make-a-Wish" foundation, and take them out on the trails. That sir, is a good feeling a "Rubber Duck" can't compete with.

Here in So Cal I know we have enough duckers to last a while but my JT is not getting it. Many of the duckers are mothers so they are mother duckers.

This is all new to me. I've had my JT for almost a year and just got ducked for the first time last weekend. It was a kind of scary experience. I had the top off, family in the Jeep slowly driving down the road at the beach when a lady walks out into the street and throws a red and orange duck into my moving jeep. I thought a homeless person was throwing their food trash in my Jeep, but the kids in the back seat were laughing and happy to see a couple ducks. Didn't know anything about ducking other than seeing ladies display them in their windshields.

Since this was my first ducking, I will always believe that the best way to duck someone is to aim at a moving topless Jeep.

I have had Jeeps since 1991 and have never been ducked. I thought my 2019 JLU would get one because it looked great and ducking around the region seems to have picked up - but nope. My 2021 JT hasn't been ducked either. Maybe I don't park in the "right" locations around town. ha.
In general I don't care. I think the concept is fine but I am not really into carrying around ducks or being concerned if someone feels they should place a duck on my Jeep. It can be fun like the wave but nothing to get worked up about IMO.
