Yelp, a question for you
« on: September 27, 2009, 08:15:41 PM »
Now I have a mature hen's tail feathers. I have one of those decoys where I can substitute real tail feathers
for the artificial ones. Do I use the hen's tail feathers?

those dekes are usually jakes or toms, though i don't know how much difference it makes.

Yes, it is a tom deke. Pretty boy, I believe is the name.
So what you are saying, that it is okay to use the hen tail feathers?
Thanks

Hoofsandwings....Just saw this..You can use either..like jackelope said...I saw a new product that helps protect the feathers..I haven't tried it yet..but it sound like it would help keep your fan protected.
