steve0146 Posted July 25, 2020 Report Share Posted July 25, 2020 Dug out my old home made decoys from back of garage yesterday. Gave them a wipe and was up at first light for a nearby stubble field. 51 crows on the deck, 6 to pick later in next field. Home for 9am and breakfast.

steve_b_wales Posted July 25, 2020 Report Share Posted July 25, 2020 They look good. I've made loads using a product called Correx. https://forums.pigeonwatch.co.uk/forums/topic/393639-correx-crow-decoys/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've also used Proplex which is a floor protecting covering, purchased from Wickes. It's a bit thinner though so I glue a few together.

Shotguneddy Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 Not homemade but a quick fix to some old shiny plastic full body decs I had lying about with some cheap socks, literally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 Quick, easy fix. Let us know if the corvids are fooled, they look good enough to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 They will work no problem. Good idea for those old grey or shiny decoys and cheaper than the spray on fuzzy stuff. I have learned over the years to be good crow decoys need to be BLACK serious BLACK to work well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
