Quick Answer
After a hunt, retrieve decoys as soon as possible to avoid damage from wind, sun, or wildlife. Bring a waterproof bag or case to store decoys during transport. Inspect decoys for damage and make repairs as needed.
Decoy Retrieval Technique
When retrieving pronghorn decoys, start by gathering all decoys in the immediate area. This will prevent decoys from becoming tangled or lost in high winds or thick vegetation. Use a systematic approach to systematically search the hunt area, dividing it into sections and methodically searching each one.
Decoy Handling and Storage
Once all decoys are gathered, handle them with care to avoid damage. Store decoys in a waterproof bag or case to protect them from the elements during transport. When storing decoys, lay them flat in the bag or case to prevent creasing or bending. This will help maintain the decoy’s appearance and extend its lifespan.
Decoy Maintenance and Repair
After retrieving decoys, inspect them for damage. Repair any damaged or worn areas promptly to extend the decoy’s lifespan. For minor repairs, simply clean and reapply decoy finish or replace any damaged parts. For more extensive damage, consider having a professional repair or replace the decoy.
