Default Frost on decoys

We hunt Canada geese in Southern Quebec and have had serious problems with frost on our Bigfoots on some mornings.

Does anybody have a suggestion on how to avoid this?

WE have 24 Bigfoot and 48 shells. There's got to be a better solution than wiping them off!!! By the time we are finished the geese will be long gone!!

Hey petrus 98, Go to the hardware store and buy a Bernzomatic propane torch. Plumbers use them to sweat copper fittings. The unit is all ready to go right out of the box. Fire it up and just run it over the decoy a couple of seconds. Works like a charm. Hope it solves your problem. Been doing this for years. Antler Addict.

Are you leaving them out overnight? If you put them out in the morning you usually don't have that problem but I guess it depends on the size of the spread you are putting out. The torch idea would work.
