Homemade Real Decoy

Recommended Posts

I built a decoy using a real deer. The antlers are removable, it is reinforced with all thread, the tail flicks every 8 seconds, instead of clay, I used apoxie sculpt on the eyes and other areas for durability, and I even made a blaze orange cover with an accessory pocket and a handle on it. I put it up in my yard just to test the mechanics and stability, and my neighbors started driving into the ditches because they were staring. I'm excited to try this thing out.

Man you are brave !!! If I would put something like that in my yard the locals would shoot at it night and day, and the way they shoot my truck, car,house, and everything else would be full of holes.

It sure does look good tho!!!!!!! What did you use to make the tail move ?

The tail mechanism is something made for regular, plastic decoys. I just modified the form and installed a metal electrical box to secure it to. I also glued hair onto the foam tail that came with the tail flicker.
