He poses way better when he's not in "hold" mode and looking meek. Yellow dogs look cool with a little duck blood on them.

I've got the opposite problem. No one can tell this one is a bitch. She even hikes a leg to piss.

Never field hunted. Do you just use regular decoys and shove them in the ground? Good talking to you today Splatt.

Well, Im cheap and poor, so I make my decoy do double duty.
I use my floaters with converter stakes.
Sure, they don't move in the breeze, but the set up sure seems to work.
I just bought another dozen stakes today.

I bought Avian X decoys. Awesome durability and very life like.
A dozen is dedicated just for the fields.

Im going to mix in some more pintails and widgeons.
I do use some of my old and ones that leak, as well.
Since I only have a dozen stakes so far, I do take my heel, and make a furrow to put the keels in for the others I use.

If you can zoom it on this pic, you can tell which ones are on stakes and which ones are dug in the ground.
The spinners are set up on varying height stakes to give the appearance of desending birds.
You can also see Trap laying in the layout blind in the foreground.

Those avian x dekes look sharp. We get some colder weather up north, you're going to need more ammo:)

For years we used our floaters in fields by taking a 3' piece of scrap 1/8" rod and folding it in half, then we bent the halves into a 7 shape. Stick in the ground and slide the keels into the fold at the top.

Now I have 3 dozen full body field shells with motion stakes

I don't have enough room for location specific decoys, so floaters do double duty.
Works for me!

Didn't expect to see this guy this evening.
