They're Do-It-Yourself'ers. Here's the deal- I'm poor and wierd and Bored. A bad combination. Anyhow, I found 2 pictures of doves, enlarged them to about life size, cut them out (roughly) and arranged them on a 8.5x11 page. Print this at full size and you should be set. Here's what I did: -print out several pages -cut out dove (each page = two dove, front and back) -glue dove to cardboard, cut out, glue other side on. **3m Spray glue works great** -Stuff a "Shish-ka-bob" steak up the cardboard. -bend a curvature into it to give it a 3D look -throw them out in a field and see how they do.  Note... These are terrible in the rain... Don't get them wet. Good luck, hope they work for you!

good tip, I used some 3/8" plywood one year, painted them gray and killed birds over them

there you go! I'm sure if you pasted these on some wood or Corrugated plastic,they would be a lot more sturdy

I used some almost like these in Mississippi dove hunting last week. These do look a lot better thou. The best part is they work great.
