Way back in the '80s there was a fellow who rented what we called the "pump blind" but also buried a neat little custom aluminum two man blind maybe 150yds from it. Dressed our blind about like most do and scattered an assortment of speck and snow shells around it. Did a much better job of hiding his and parked a trailer with a dozen speck stuffers by the pump. On hunt mornings, he and his buddy carried them afield hanging on a pole between them. Just rented the spot one season before moving on to something closer to his home in LC that offered ducks, too, because the drive and setup were too much trouble for such quick hunts.

Only place I've hunted stuffers was the Eastern Shore, where the fellow we hunted with would offset the staleness of big standing spreads with either they or the first Big Foots I'd seen carried in and out on hunt days "to show the geese we aren't there". Beside Scotch Guarding, they'd dry damp stuffers with hair dryers and hang them from rafters on wire to keep the mice from eating them.

Watch out for "Kramer" he shoots them things then when confronted about it says he was tired of looking at it.

Nice work. That'd only last 5 minutes with Kramer. I KNOW he'd shoot it and wonder why it wasn't moving.
He wears THICK glasses and will show up wearing a Bears hat to hunt waterfowl. :lol:

But can you make 'em land?

More seriously, you've come a long way in a little time.

You've been a busy man! The standing Snow looks great, but the landing Specks are unusual and will really stand out in a room :thumbsup:

Love those specks, great work! Why snow stuffers to target specks but not speck stuffers? Seems you'd obviously have the perfect coloring all are trying to track down in a decoy, but then will also have all the poses one could ever want.
