growalot Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 And early for once...I got out the decoys and plumped them up...went out to the goat barn and grabbed the tail from last years tom ..that the neighbors dog got to before me...rigged a holder for it then cut a slit in the back of a Jake decoy and positioned it in the slit...duck taped it in place and then put it out on a stake...Dang if the wind didn't catch it just right and the semi open fan flips up and down slightly and turns the decoy as well...looks pretty good for a very quick Idea..will need to get brown or camo duct tape and do a touch up paint job on the wings...the bobbin hen is returning to it's shape as well as another hen...The Tom from this morning ...showed up under my stand again late this afternoon...Little snot...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

growalot Posted April 29, 2013 Author Share Posted April 29, 2013 Yes Mr. B and I just watched a hen 60 yards off the deck this morning she was walking down the middle of the barren corn field with purpose...he opened the door to go to the truck and she looked like a road runner before taking flight and gliding down into our woods...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
