Default Turkey Decoy Shape?

I have a Carry-Lite Hen and Jake pair

They just wont seem to hold their shape. They have depressions and creases in their bodies.

Is there any way or stratagy to get rid of this? And help them stay in the right shape?

I know these are prettycheap decoys, but surely there issomething that can be done. They dont even look like turkeys the way they are[&:]

I dont know...maybe they are just junk.....

Thanks in advancefor any advice

OK I tried stuffing them with newspaper and hittin 'em with the hair dryer for a few minutes each (we'll see if that works)

Thats really all I can think of right now.



Any other ideas???

I store mine flat instead of folded. I tried folding the other direction, but I can't remember how well that worked out.
