We even cut the stake in half and rounded the bottom a bit. We take an auger bit and drill a hole into thick ice and we have used then on the ice while laying out on plastic and covering up with white sheets. I have taken pieces of steel rod and attached the 1/2 stake and put in the ground or top of corn stalks to get them above the stubble. When a slight breese blows, the dekes will move and twist around a bit, adding a bit of realism.
