Homemade Goose Shells/WindSocks?

[Larry J]

Was wondering if anyone has every made or attempted to make canada goose shells or flags. Something light-weight that could easily be packed in and added to a spread of factory shells. It seems to me that they would look realistic with replacement heads from a manufacturer. I've searched the posts and not found any previous discussion.

I considered doing something like that at one time. I looked into it and decided it wasn't work my effort. For really cheap decoys it is very hard to beat factory plastic ones. Especially if you are going to use factory heads. They should be one sale soon anyway.

I bought a couple of sheets of coroplast and made head cutouts, mounted on heavy gauge wire. For the bodies, I stocked up on the white plastic bags from walmart (quadruple the milk bag please). The key is to make a small knot in one bottom corner (gives it a V look) and just peg it to the ground through the handles. You can get a couple of hundred snows out quick this way. The slightest breeze gets it moving. The only drawback is, due to the bags can be a bit shinny, these only work when the sun is not out and bright. Best thing is i can get a few hundred deeks out with ony two gunnysacks to carry them.
