Couzer Report post Posted November 14, 2020 Decoys are a must if you can find where they are landing. I think you can get like 12 silhouette decoys for $100. Pm me if you have any questions on hunting them. There’s a Crane call on Amazon for around $30 that works. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You pretty much have to have a blind for this hunt huh? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just depends on where you are hunting at. But to answer your question, no. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Tub Report post Posted November 15, 2020 This a terribly equipment intensive sport. You may want to contact Josh Gertsch and Nash Clark with Fur2Feathers. They may cut you a deal seeing that a junior is involved. They are great guys and I am sure they may want to encourage our youth to start hunting. It can be a really discouraging hunt unless you know what you are doing. These two guys REALLY know what they are doing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

U.T.A.H. Camp Report post Posted November 17, 2020 I'd think the cost of the trip to Home Depot and Michael's negates any savings on decoys. I would personally rather have a couple nice decoys instead of a craft project. I understand the DIY tactic. That sort of plan does not always end up on the cheap though.

Thinking about getting 2 dozen and a call then just rent an out after. Plus I got more kids that will probably get drawn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CatfishKev Report post Posted November 19, 2020 Gonna pull trigger on dive bomb decoys. I want 2 dozen, if anyone is thinking about ordering some hit me up. There's a discount to get 5 dozen. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
