You know you're doing something right when you have blood on your decoys, but how do you get it out of the FFDs? Do you just take a fine brush? Gotta get it off those things....it's BRIGHT red

Isaac,

I usually use water and a series of cotton cloths. I make the cloths damp and keep dabbiing the blood spots until they come clean. Every few seconds, I move the cloth so that I don't reapply any blood I've just drawn off the decoy and onto the cloth back onto the decoy. The sooner you do it, the easier and faster the blood will come off.

Cold water and try to get it before it dries.

Well its too late to get it off before it dries but I just used a little of the snow that was on the ground and just wiped the blood right off of the flocking

Use peroxide. let it sit for just a bit, then take it off.

If the blood is dry, spray it down with water before you use the peroxide. By allowing it to be loosed up with water first, the peroxide works a lot faster.

Ditto! I found myself with the same problem back in September. Some water and a little bit of peroxide will make small work out of removing the blood.

Just apply hydrogen peroxide (full strength), let it bubble up, and dab clean. Rinse with water. They'll be good as new. Works on clothes, too.
