like if you want to stalk them? i don't think that would work very well. you would be getting glare off the mirror if you moved it too much. try a cow sillouette, or belly crawl.

i know people who use them on snows but i think ducks or canads will not buy it. unless there is a lot of cows in the area

i sometimes hunt in a cow pasture next to an 11 acre pond, and the birds always get spooked up before i get to them, do you know where i can go if i wanted to buy one of these cow sillouetts?

I googled it and couldn't find any for sale. I think most people just make them out of plywood. Probably doesn't have to be real detailed. I have also heard that birds are catching on too.

We used a cow sill. one season on Canadas...It worked very well.
Then again it was a huge dairy farm, with cows runnin' everywhere....
We just cut ours out of plywood, painted it brown, then put some white patches on it...It worked!

Good Luck!
