transporting a stuffer decoy
« on: April 09, 2014, 12:35:41 PM »
Hello all, picked up a stuffer hen. Would like some ideas on how some of you transport them about. If you've made boxes etc. Pics would be much appreciated if you're so inclined.javascript:void(0);

when I used one--I kept in in a garbage bag to protect the feathers, and a standard decoy bag with a sling on it will work---CustomGunSocks makes some great bags

Don't know how your stuffer is made but mine has wires coming out of the bottom of the feet. So I made a wood frame that the wires go into to transport in the truck. Here is a picture of what I made. When I am in the field I just carry it by the feet. The decoys were still drying thats why the wires are around them.

Those look just like the one I picked up from Joe Slaton. I like that idea for truck travel. The legs and neck seem to be the weak points. Had another fellow talking about a clam shell cae he made for his. Sold it so he didn't have a pic. I've got a wee bit of a walk thru woods, up hills etc. Carrying a blind and a bow also. Thanks for those who chime in. Got to be a better way...

Hey Joe! No wonder that one decoy looked familiar! Could tell by the way she tilted her hips. Didn't realize that was your post. Nice deke by the way.
