Makeshift Decoy Weight

[Scott Stein]

was out the other night and relized my one of my decoys had lost a weight so i tied an empty shotgun shell and sunk it worked well though there was no wind. what else have u guys used in this situation

WOW! Thats a great idea! If i have some bolts in the truck i tie those on sometimes.

[Scott Stein]

it was all i had thought about a full one but idk how well it would work after that :s

Why not tie the second decoy to the back of the keel of one of your other decoys? If there is a breeze at all, they should stay pretty well spread apart.

In super calm days, I've also just tossed decoys out with no weight. Any surface weeds will keep them in place.

i always have an extra weight or two and a few feet of cord in my blind bag, just for that reason

Interesting,

what have I not used Large bolts- washers - tied to another decoy - stuck a stick in the mud and tied.

Should have put it around my hunting partners leg and told him to be really still
