Preparing Dekes for Flocking
(Preview)
I'm getting ready to flock my dekes and I'm wondering how to prepare them. They have been used a lot and are dirty. I was thinking about running them through the dish washer but I figured that would deform them. What are you guys doing to prep your dekes for flocking?

Windy Day Crows

We had several days last year where we went out in the wind. It seemed like the crows had a hard time getting low enough for us to take shots, and also for them to turn around and come back to us. Anybody have any good strategies for crowbustin' in the wind? Thanks Winchester_101
