April 27th Looks to wet, I purchaseda new Ground Blind, and May spend the day in it till the rain stops, I want to be in the woods at Day break, Nothing Like watching the woods Come alive. Decoys I am really Not sure if I will be useing them as I hunt a small wood lot, with very little field, But the I may go with a Jake and Hen, only time will tell. I have had Gobblers Hang up when they see this Jake decoy, Might go with 2 hens and take a shot, again who knows till that Mornin. I am not 100% sold on the decoy game, But I am sure it works at the right time and place. Good Luck this weekend Kids, save a few 4 us older Kids.
Dave

Woody, I got that one last year. Does he use it in the rain. Didnt know if I wanted to get it all wet next week or if it would hurt it. Yes he does. I had a "Turkey Skinz" on one of my decoys last year and I sprayed the feathers with Krylon Chrystal Clear Gloss and it seemed to help against rain and losing feathers. Not sure if Woodmaster treats his or not. When his blind was blown away this opening day in KY and that exposed his stuffer to a monsoon. He took it home and dried it out and used it the next day. The biggest thing in keeping these stuffers in good shape is to shoot the gobbler coming BEFORE he jumps on the decoy. |

Don't leave them out while your gone after a hot bird or what ever. Crows like to pick the feathers off as well.

Another weather proofing for a stuffer could be some of that silicone spray...

76chevy has got it right. I have a DSD hen, thats all I use anymore.
Rain usually delays flydown a little then its off to a field.

We were in Kansas Last week, and Had a Pretty Goog storm Come in on us we made it back to the truck Just as the skys let loose, Kept hearing Thunder and some Lighting thats when we started to head, We had about 1.5 mile walk back and like I said we just made it, As we were driving into are cabin Came the hail, about the size of a Large Marble, some wind and then Cold the last 2 days.
