hand made decoy's

[jonoevans 1]

Hi has anyone ever made their own decoy's that work?

To me hunting is about food, I only shoot what I can eat,so effectively food for

free/nominal cost.I know a lot of hunters out there will go out and buy the latest kit

and if you got the finances,why not? But hunting is an age old skill that shouldnt need

a lot of money.so instead of blabbing on about costs anyone got any idea as to how to make

cheap decoys.I had thought about making a salt dough/ clay pigeon mould and making shells

off that with papier mache.but do any of you have a quicker or more effective method?

Length of grey plastic guttering or an old grey dusbin cut into pigeon shape . A whiff of grey car primer will take the shine off and a couple of white neck/wing flashes will give you some crude shell decoys. They might not fool an experienced pigeon that's seen it all before but they despite the idea being a very old one it still works a bit .
