Turkey Hunting Whether it's spring or fall doesn't matter to this bunch. Great tips on calling, bustin flocks, using blinds and more.

Paint just doesn't stick to that foam very well. Are you going to try to brush it or spray it? If I were you I think I would brush it. I would just go and get some Testors model paint. Or if you are good friends with a local taxi they could probably touch it up. I am an airbrush artist soI touch mine up with my airbrush and automotive paints. Good luck

I took an old hen decoy and gave it a sex change operation. I went to a craft store and bought tubes of tennis shoe paint. Kids use it to decorate their tennis shoes. It comes in any color you could possibily want. It will last you a season or two. I touch it up before the season.
