Is there special care needed for FFD's decoys after hunting them in wet weather? Have people found any issues with mildew? I have seen/read a number of posts where people are talking about bagging FFD's before putting them in slot bags, but I have to believe that's a bad idea after the decoys have been sitting in the rain for a couple hours.
Here in Oregon you can count on 1/2 of the 107 day season being wet and rainy so I want to make sure to have my bases covered to get as much life out of the FFD's as possible. Thanks....

Cheers,

Adam

If it rained i took them out and let the bags-decoys dry. But if i know i was going to hunt again in 4-5 day i left them alone and let them dry the next day i hunted. But never had a mildew problem. If you have any other ? on the ffd you can Pm or call me. Thanks

I have found out the hard way that mold/mildew will indeed form on flocking if left in a moisture rich environment. :eek: :eek:
