Buckwing's Bobbin Head Decoys...Very Nice!

I ordered a couple of these and when they came they were all cruppled up and creased. Needless to say I wasn't very happy because it affected the head bobbing action of the decoy.

The instructions said to put them in hot water and it would fix the problem. Sure enough it did.

Man do these decoys look good!! Perhaps not quite as realistic as "the Pretty Boy" or what ever the name of that $100.00 decoy isthat utilizes realistic tail feathers, but for $19.99 they look to be just the ticket. The movement is uncanny.

Now if they pass the durability test I will be ecstatic...[8D]

Thanks for the info AE...been thinking of some new ones myself...the old tried and true have seen better days.

Another way is to use a hair dryer. Blow the warm air into the decoy and watch it come back to it original shape. I"™ve been doing this for 3 years on my Buckwing and it work every time.

I picked up one of these last year but and had my doubts. Used it all season, it worked flawlessly! You just have to find the balance point and the head will move at the slightest breeze.

I have one myself, and yes after the hot water it is great, thinking of the mating pair.

I will say, the head bobbled hen I picked it up the first time, and my dog growled and took off running. Maybe can sit it in front yard to scare strays!

But I do like them. [8D]
