p-a-s Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 (edited) well i dont know if this has been done before so sorry if im behind the times.i had a brain wave earlier regarding some crow decoys i had.i have used these decoys a couple of times but never had much sucess with them,so i thoughjt about using some black tights (not mine i add) to cover the decoys.any way my other half went shopping today so i asked her to get me a couple of pairs of black tights.i pulled 1 leg of said tights over the crow decoy and pulled it over untill it was tight under the crows tail then i just popped the beak through the toe end and re tightened the tight and tied it up with string,result a completely transformed crow decoy.out of the 2 pairs of tights i managed to transform 5 full bodied crows a 1 flying crow all for the princeley sum of £1.25. i have taken a few pics to post and with luck they will appear with this post.im out pigeon shooting in the morning so i will give these crow decoys a try and post how they performed. pic1 before pic2 after pic3 side by side Edited December 15, 2009 by p-a-s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosd Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 If you can get your hands on a couple of suspenders, you can loft a couple as well :o Joking aside, they look good. I have bought some stretchy material and covered all my pigeon shell decoys, painted them as well, and they work brill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
