I did that same decoy last year. Gave it to a buddy of mine and did another.

I really don't know if it helps to customize a decoy or not. But it's a lot of fun adding feathers and paint. And it's neat watching your decoy while hunting. You did a good job. Here's my decoy. I used hot glue to glue the wings on, but had to redo it after the first use because a "wing" started to fall off. I get to use him again Friday when I go with my son.

Wow guys those are cool. Snapper I hope you made a video for YouTube on that lol would like to try that on one.
I rarely ever use a decoy but it would be nice to have one look like that for when I get to use one. Nice job guys!

What are you using for glue?  I plan on doing mine with the feathers from my next bird.
