Anybody on here make your own decoys? Floaters, or field, full body or silhouette, whatever.
Was thinking about trying to make some of my own, mostly for field hunting probably Canadas, maybe snows too.
Just wondering if anybody has any advice.

Shoot me an e-mail if you get stuck, but there is a ton of info on the internet about making them. Just do a search for whatever species you are trying to make....geese, puddle ducks.....or be more specific....snow geese full bodies...etc. Good luck

We used to make a lot of goose silhouette decoys. All we did was to cut the outline out of plywood and then paint the body and head. They weren't the best looking things but they worked.

Mario does make some great looking decoys! I would check him out.
Bull please don't make Mario's head any bigger! Tim Anderson heads the Mossy Oak Pro Staff, Mario is like myself, a regional manager. Better break it down.

I have some 2 liter coke bottle fillers I make.
They are so light and it does not take the slightest breeze to move them and add movement to your spread when standard decoys won't move due to light wind. Just mix in along the outside of your spread your regular decoys and mix these in. I have a friend who uses a 100 or so in his spreads in Arkansas and it is amazing the results.
