My brother and I decided at the end of last snow goose season that we wanted to build a rig. We spent the better part of the year doing just that. My brother was able to source hundreds of white tyvek suits and also sheets of coroplast for free from his work. We made patterns, cut, sewed and are still working on painting all the details on the 1000 dekes we made. We recently had the opportunity to christen our spread. We had a flock of snows hitting one of our fields and we decided to hunt. We got busted first thing in the morning still setting up and thought the day was shot. I am glad we stuck it out because about an hour later we had a flock work us and about 5 juvies dropped in to about 15yrds. We dropped two. Our shooting could have been better, but we were pretty excited! It was such an awesome feeling after all the hard work of making the dekes! I got out again with a couple of buddies and we got a few more. This time all adults. The pup got to do some work and I got in some steady training with all the decoying swans.
