FLOCKING IS FUN!!! PLUS, THERE'S A WEALTH OF INFORMATION ON THIS FORUM.... AND A # OF GIFTED ARTISTS WILLING TO SHARE THEIR TALENTS.

Don Are you still burlapping your foamers??? In following your posts, it seems like you have discontinued the process. I'm curious about your thoughts on this..... I'm a rookie working on 6 Whitefront "preeners". It sure would be nice to forego the burlapping gig for a number of reasons...

Sounds like a good "game" plan. I've had good luck with the A.C. Leggs pre-mixed seasonings for a nice breakfast sausage mix and smoked summer sausage. All spoonies, snow geese and a few skinny specks go into the sausage mix with 15% pork fat. Please let me know how that golden eye turns out!!!

What a great hunt, all the way around. I was curious as to how the goldeneyes are table-fare wise in your neck of the woods... how do you prep them? They get mixed reviews when bagged in the North Sacramento Valley. And, a happy and healthy New Year to you and your family.

In reading over what I posted, I realized I made a mistake on the Speck head and neck. Apologies. Tile Brown Diamond Brite (Amazon), or Dark Brown Rustoleum ( if you can find it) glue with Goose Gray flocking. I do a fair amount of "hazing" with airbrushed Sand Rustoleum over this combo...

Oh, the Rustoleum Sand is available through Amazon. ACE doesn't seem to carry it anymore. Pricey to say the least, especially with Jeff Bezos trying to out maneuver Elon Musk in Outer Space.......

The whole "face" of a mature Speck is one of Mother Nature's works of art, especially when seen in the field. The beak is a beautiful blend of colors, giving it a special "opalescent" quality. Hard for a mere mortal to reproduce.... What you refer to as "pixel" painting, would be key. I...

I'm honored ( and, hopefully, the " Bob" you are referring to!!!). In the field, the beak of a Speck is very prominent. It is NOT orange, red or pink. Specks are NOT a dark goose. In the field, at least in rice country, they are quite "light" in coloration. The speck flocking recipe...

I wouldn't hunt if I couldn't hunt over my custom double flocked Speck decoys.... All thanks to Don Mintz and his generous sharing of valuable information. Yesterday was a prime example. Limits of Specks for my blind partner and I. Cupped and webbed to say the least. No other shots heard in...

G and H vs. Custom flocked DSD speck..... A lot of hunters say "if they're close enough to see the difference, you should've already shot them...." I'm guessing that it's just a matter of personal preference.
