Hey guys, watch this video for a great tip on making even cheap-o, foamie decoys (like the Thugs Wal-Mart dekes) *POP* when you set 'em out on stakes on a hunt.  Been using this with my FeatherFlex dekes for years, and it makes 'em look so much better when they're sitting STRAIGHT UP on the stakes vs. all limped/leaning over & droopy...

BTW, the Thugs decoys were $5.40 *EACH* & in my opinion, they look awesome!

This is great...my decoys had that exact issue last year. I will definitely be using this technique this year! Thanks :)

I saw a thread where a guy painted the head on these cheap foam decoys & they looked better as well.

Might have to try one of these, at $5 you can't go wrong!
