EASY DIY NECK PROPS
So following Wally and his one decoy using neck props on dead birds to get their neck collar to look right is to my way of thinking the best decoy. The most simple neck props are from wire coat hangers and you can cut four from each hanger. Just remember to collect them when you pick up your birds as combines don’t digest them well. Also pick up you birds by the wing rather than the neck to preserve that collar as it is the flock recognition symbol they use when feeding. Also only can you carry more birds this way. Don’t have all the head bolt up right as that will look like a flock about to leave the field and you want to give the impression of a flock busy feeding. The top spike goes straight through the base of the head into the skull. You can carry them in a old plastic bottle to avoid running you hand through as you reach into your pocket to get one out (I've been there and you can have more fuN than that in your life).
