Had a few requests for my patterns for the hooded merganser sillouhettes since I posted a set of hoodie Y-boards on the classifieds.
So, here are the patterns.
You'll just need to save each fiel and then when you get ready to print them, blow them up to barely fit on an 11x17 sheet of paper and they will be the right size.

Carl - seeing these just gave me an idea - have you (or anyone?) had much luck using these for scaup? I've been wishing I could put out another couple of dozen blocks a few times this season for bluebills, but space is definitely at a premium in my DP, already at capacity. A few of these but with bluebills could work though...worthwhile?
 
Nick, they will work for sure. only problem you may encounter with them is in heavy current. they might drag or one of the arms may get pulled under and it will flip. I.ve used them for years. they really help fill out the rig.

I had a pile of bluebill y-boards at one point, sold them all at yard sale 6 years ago.
Lots of other guys use them too. Great fun to make & paint.
Here are the patterns, just blow them up on a copier to make them the right size.

And some buffies (there worked really well, sold them when I bought my GHG buffie decoys.)

Wow, thanks all for the replies and carl for the patterns. I think I may try and make a dozen or so for next year. That would add some serious numbers to my meager spread and would still fit in the boat. The vast majority of our bluebills seem to have left with the storms this week, so it's back to the shorelines for me for goldeneye and black ducks now, for the couple weeks or so I have left until we're froze up again for the year.
