I would greatly appreciate any suggestions folks care to share on the best species to paint some cheap, old, plastic mallards which are collecting dust in the garage.
I hunt almost entirely on salt ponds and sheltered waters in the Narragansett Bay estuary.
What already comes in range (that is, when there is anything in range) in approximate order, from most prevalent to least, are black ducks, bufflehead, mergansers, brant, mallards, wigeon, Canada geese. I see lots and lots of bluebills at times, but they are almost never in range.
Someday I would love to start carving decoys, but for now, this is what I have time for.
Thanks for any input.
