Brett Fulcher, owner of Cherokee Sports, is an innovative person who has some great products in the making, including an item waterfowlers who hunt in fields will find very interesting. They're available in a variety of duck and goose species.Ĭherokee Sports also manufactures photo-real turkey, sandhill crane, mourning dove and deer decoys. And Featherlites right themselves when tossed into the water. When deflated, several dozen Featerlite decoys can fit in a single bag - great for the boat-less hunter who walks a distance to a remote hunting location. Initially, there was a problem with the decoys tipping over in a strong wind, but the problem was solved last year with a slightly different design. From just a few yards away the decoys could easily be mistaken for real birds. I've used Featherlites for two years and feel they're very effective. They're printed from photos of real birds (some photos supplied by yours truly). ![]() Wing Wings come in mallard and Canada goose models and are available in retail stores or online atĬherokee Sports, located in Columbia, Tenn., has introduced light, inflatable, photo-printed duck and goose decoys called Featherlites that are amazingly realistic. I haven't tested Wind Wings yet, but, as most hunters know, motion among your decoys attracts ducks and geese from a distance and adds realism to your setup. Wind Wings are light and fold flat for easy carrying. Simple yet effective, the Wind Wings decoy simulates a bird about to land among your floating decoys, thus attracting distant birds. ![]() has designed an affordable spinning wing decoy it claims will spin in a breeze of less than 5 m.p.h. But wind-powered decoys can be used the entire season. As most hunters know, the Minnesota DNR has banned on public waters motorized decoys with visible moving parts above the water's surface from opening day through Oct. Several companies now manufacture wind-driven motion decoys. I found three interesting items that waterfowlers might want to add to their hunting provisions. ![]() But for hunters who chase late-season ducks and geese - birds that have seen many decoy spreads and heard humans whaling away on duck and goose calls - more sophisticated gear is needed to bring birds in close. Some items are essential: shotgun, non-toxic shotshells, hip boots or waders, decoys. Back in August, while wandering the grounds at Game Fair, I was overwelmed by the amount of gear available to today's waterfowler.
