Making your own decoys.
I recently found a book at my local libary thats has plans for sportsman to make and one of them is decoys the plans seem pretty straight forward and such but where would I get paint at a reasonable price? I'd be making mallards, canvasback and redhead. Thanks for the help.

Never tried making my own, just because most duck decoys these day are reasonabley priced. I re-painted some of my decoys and just bought a coulor kit from cabelas, but that maybe isnt the cheapest way to go. Are you making floater or just sillouettes for the field?

Do you get the Cabela's, Mac's, Redhead, etc. catalogs?...If so they have kits for you to order. But if you do not then im sure you could find them on the websites.
