Well my goofy Goldeneye decoy worked

Dave Sikorski · 01-23-2007, 11:57 AM

I googled a few months back and found a pic of a Goldeneye doing his "sexy" pose.

Well this fella couldn't help but try and upstage him.

Only the one GE decoy outside the spread all by himself. I guess it holds true in nature too, try and impress the ladies too much and you might just get F#$%#D.

cool looking decoy-I love shooting whistlers. If you don't mind me asking what kind of paint are you using I am just getting into painting decoys.

They're Goldens Acrylics. Tough, easy to use, flat, and tough.

Make sure you get the matte version or you'll have one glossy decoy.

I use the Heavy Body Jars, but know that plenty of carvers use the fluid matte paints too. This birds is simply Mars Black, Titanium White w/ some Burnt umber to knock down the brightness...aka warm white, The head is Phthalo green(yellow shade) mixed with mars black.

Goldens also makes interference colors if you want to get fancy that have a irridesence to them.

NICE...20 geese in a morning is great, but in an hour is BAD ASS.

I'll have a good bluebill video up in a few days. Gotta get some more footage first.
