holloway Posted May 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2020 So a shoveler seemed to be the best option,well for now anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker570 Posted May 12, 2020 Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 Looking great. Never actually used shoveller decoys but had them come in to mallard decoys. Used to shoot a large lake down near Droitwich which had a fair few shovellers come in along with teal tufty and mallard. Folks said they were not good to eat but I never had a bad one they all tasted good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny I had a friend who used to beg them from me if I shot one said they were the best eating ever, each to their own I suppose. Anyway finished today,not happy with the tail but I ran out of wood to work with, have to see what they make of it on evilbay. item 233584051697 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
