Title: decoys
Post by: big J on October 26, 2012, 09:10:44 AM

i gotta replace some deeks and wondering if anyone has tried the fully flocked goose decoys. seems that its a good idea but worry about durability. or what full body deeks do you guys prefer? need to replace a dozen or so that are worn out.  i am lookin for motion decoys we allready got new stationary ones.

I ran FFD's for a few seasons, unless you keep them super clean and single bag them you will be painting them every year. I run DSD's now. Great decoys and the ACE stuff is very durable.

Stay away from ghg!! They look good for half a season and then go to crap.  Very poorly made.  Buy the new bigfoot b2 decoys  they look good you can flock the bodies if you choose but durability is phenomenal!!  By far best decoy for price.  I have been hunting over the same bigfoots the past 6 years and look good as new.

What does everyone think the best reasonably priced full body lesser decoys are?  My question is specific to reasonably priced.  I don't want to buy DSDs or anything in the price range because I don't spend enough time hunting geese and the geese I do hunt aren't all that educated.

I have mostly DSD ace decoys.  I sold all my older DSD.  For throwing in a tub or bag, the new Big Foots hold up very well.

Painted GHG or Dakota in single slot bags. They will last a long time if you treat them with a little respect.

Hard to beat DSD's.....but it's also hard to fill a wheel barrow full of $20's to pay for them too!!!

Big Foots work great too.
