dead-eye-dick Posted April 30, 2002 Report Share Posted April 30, 2002 First of all i'd like to say a big thankyou to Cranfield, who gave up his sat afternoon to walk around some of my shoot. Im very greatfull for the hard earned info which he passed on to me. He also took one look at my new decoys and swore with discust. He has once again gone out of his way, this time on a sunday, and given me some of his old decoys, thanks again. Which brings me to me question, On most decoys i've seen thay have the white flash on the neck and wings, I don't know if these have worn off or whether it's not that important. Should I spray them for ease of view from the air, or would it not make much diffrence??? what do you think?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted April 30, 2002 Report Share Posted April 30, 2002 Cranfield swore! Tut! Tut! LOL I touch up the white flashes on my deeks whenever they wear off, as I think they are important to attract the attention of passing birds. I use anything from white paint to Tippex.

Cranfield Posted April 30, 2002 Report Share Posted April 30, 2002 Steve, it fitted my swearing "criteria". It was in the middle of nowhere, only Dead-eye was with me and the decoys he had been sold were unbelievable. Can you imagine a soft rubber,shapeless, shell like decoy. They were terrible. Dead-eye, a white paint pen from a craft shop ,or something similar is all you need. I wouldn,t make it TOO white, try them first. They were attracting pigeons up to March, thats when my flock coated ones arrived. I enjoyed the afternoon and you know how to contact me.
