If you Really want to have more decoys out I would suggest buying some old plastic decoys that leak anything you can get your hands on for cheap cut the bottoms out of them get fiber class stakes or any kind of cheep stakes and then drill a hole in the decoy where it balances. Then during the summer when you get bored buy some paint at Walmart and repaint them if you want to be more visible paint half into blacks half into drakes. You can always put a want old leaking decoys add up and see what guys have you can make a lot of these Really quick once u get the hang of it. If you have anymore questions just p.m me. Also if I see anybody letting go of any decoys ill let you know. I'd give you about a 100 old ones but your a year to late.

Sorry I can't resist...

I just put a bunch of floaters in the toilet right now.

Don't over-think it man.

Those mallards died with floaters set on the ground... under a mojo and next to some fullbody geese.
