Duck decoy idea
« on: February 05, 2015, 07:23:16 AM »
Has anybody taken any of their floater duck decoys and cut off the bottom of it to turn it into a shell and then stuck it on a  motion stake for shallow water / edge of water. Thinkin about makin a dozen or so just curious if anyone else has done it

I think this has been done for years.  $100 a dozen for field shells or $24 a dozen for floaters.  A guy on CL was selling 3 dozen of these.  They appeared to be hot buys from the pictures.  I made 2 dozen hot buys into these as well.  Just ran them through the band saw and purchased GHG replacement stakes.
Cut em!
It's not the shells!  It's the shooter!

you don't really need to ruin a water decoy to use it in the field. Screw or clamp some legs to the keel or use a post setup for movement. the thing i see is that most water dec's have the same poses, ducks don't posture the same on water as they do on land, resting v/s active feeding, etc... so its about presentation.
