mainebuck Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 It seems like when you fold up decoys to store them or bring them in the field and then try to set them up they don't expand like when they were new. Some of the dents don't come out. Is there a quick and easy way to fix this, or does it really even matter in the eyes of a real turkey?

buckbuster11 Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 Re: re-expanding decoys About a month before the season I get mine out and stuff them with old newspaper. If you pack it real tight you can get almost all the dents out....it seems to work pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huntn4bucks Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 Re: re-expanding decoys I have FeatherFlex turkey decoys and you can use the heat from a blow dryer/hair dryer to expand the foam back into place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
