bought a avian jake strutter decoy help!?!

[drywallerdave]

what is the best way to get this bird back into shape.  it's rock hard right now and can't get it to do anything.  it's at room temp.  just want to know the best way without tearing the bird apart or damaging it. maybe not rock hard but I can't get it to change from its compressed shape thankyou gentlemen

Blow it up and put it in the shower. It should have came with the directions in the box.

[drywallerdave]

it came with no directions or the free DVD    can't find any instruction video on YouTube or avian site

As uchee stated above, throw it in the a warm/hot shower and let it sit for a few minutes.  Pull it out and inflate the deke.  Let it sit in the shower inflated for a bit to allow it to take hunting shape.  Good to go!  Good luck!!

 If that doesn't work hit the stubborn spot with a hair dryer to heat them up then put some more air in it. Worked on mine.

Don`t let your wife see you bringing it in the shower with you

If you would've bought a DSD to begin with you wouldn't be having this problem!

[Ishi]

I wanted to say the same thing but didn't. DSD are the best but yet hunters will save a buck and buy a inferior decoy its hard to figure out

[TauntoHawk]

DSDs are great but a hard body decoy does not fit everybodys style of hunting

[MKMGOBL]

Sell it & buy a DSD decoy (not a hard body decoy) that doesn't need to be blown up

Yup,  just get some glue for the DSD heads that break off.     Don't deny that doesn't happen! Seen it, done it.

Do the shower trick. Haven't met a tom that doesn't want to play with it and that's a fact jack.

^^^^  Agreed!!

Sorry I never heard of snapped heads on DSD  many are used in my area? At least I don't have to do the shower thing
