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

and fishing stories that my kids can share with others...

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.
