Speck Decoys

[7ducks]

What would it cost to get you to make me one of those Love seats.

OK, you got my vote. Full Kung Fu Master status! I think it was the photogenic hound that put you over the top. A true camera hog.
Bilge pump on a flambasul water keel,now that's the ticket.
Cool ducking gadgets, you gotta love em.

I was thinking the same thing man. That looks like one damn good hound right there.

When it all pays off....6 drakes on a hump back...


I hope this is appreciated by the original poster...hijacked big time...sorry again. Get some G&H specks and tweek the "butt ugly paint job". I almost called some specks in one day w/out decoys is what started me...I like the Haydel's compensator speck call with the rubber on da end...Later DL

[greenheadgrimreaper]

Hmm one of the rare cases where a hijack makes for an even better thread...

Denduke everytime something comes up about hunting or fishing you have been there and done that. But not in a bad way. In a "I remember back in 72" kind of way.

Hell I gotta get to work if I'm going to get close.

No problem on the hijack, I'm Albanian remember, we get no respect in here
Great idea on the paint job on the Canada decoys, they look pretty good. I may have to try that or just go with the butt ugly G & H decoys, at least I know they will hold up. I agee on the learning to call suggestion. We killed e few this year with me blowing a Haydel that sounded like we were celebrating New Years each time I used it. I learned to blow it just enough to keep them interested. The best day on Specks was a day we had no Speck decoys, go figure. Reading this stuff makes me wish I were more handy in the shop. I have all sorts of ideas floating around in my head, most of them fail miserably, but the fun is in the tryin'.

I've been using those home made motion stakes like Denduke's for a few years on my canada shells. They work a lot better than the plastic ones you get with the dekes. One thing I did, and he may have too, is put a piece of reflective tape around the stakes close to the top. That way I can put them in the ground before daylight, shine then to get an idea of how they are laid out, then put the shells on them.

[Denduke]

The stakes are actually Anatidae's, RD, idea with the big tapered faucet washers...I picked'em up from him off the 'Fuge yrs ago ....Later DL
Soon be teal time...

Well this post seems fairly week after Denduke's epic hijack, but I was going to say, Green Head Gear makes some good floater specks. I've got 6 of them I occasionally put out in the spread when we are hunting a big field.

GHG FFD's, you only need 3 or 4 depending on what you are doing. for what you have to pay for them, you'll learn not to be as rough on them.

[mmkenty]

Tica,

Wish they would work like those Bluewings that landed next to me and started eating Algae off of my waders. By far the dumbest duck I have ever seen.

The Avery flocked are hard to beat. We eat them up in the Poinsette County rice fields.

Yes I think them bluewings thought we were driftwood... hope your specks cooperate equally as well
