    FINALLY... i bought some new decoys

    so i finally got permission to take the plunge and purchase some nice decoys, It is whats called a GHG fullbody Mallard Harvester Pack... thats a mouthful, well i picked them up yesterday and i am very impressed to say the least, the "harvester pack" came with 12 decoys with a ratio of 6 hens and 6 drakes, it came with 4 styles with an even ratio of hens for drakes so do the math yourself. it came with 4 Actives, 4 Feeding 2 Resting and 2 sleeping.
    it also came with 2 types of stands, stakes to stab into soil or mud and ring stands for ice or frozen ground.
    the only problem i had was a dent in the sleeper hen, but magically and surprisingly a good thing for me the dent just folded out! the decoys can flex to take abuse. All the paint came perfectly and the heads fit on perfect too.

    I cant wait to use them in my secret spot next weekend! hehe

    I have the same set. Plus a few, Great little spread. You can get flocked heads for the drake feeders and sentrys.

    Only complaint I have with ours is after a season or two, a hen or two the paint has turned colour. Not brown anymore, has a reddish/pinkish colouring to it now. Owell, we'll buy 3-4 dozen more in the offseason to add to the others plus some pinnies. I only buy GHG duck decoys, wont touch the geese, but thats another story.

    1st Im in charge, and if not Matt is. Your job is to sign checks, tell us we're doing good and open your case of scotch after a good day. 2nd my fee. You can keep it, all I want in exchange for my service is the right to hunt all the drakes. A male. Buck only. Why and how are my business. If you don't like it, go alone. Set up right here or in a swamp or in the middle of a noshoot field for all I care. I've been on too many duck hunts with rich dentists to listen to any more suicidal ideas. Ok?

    Re: FINALLY... i bought some new decoys

    I've got 6 Doz of the GHG full body Canadas, 4 Doz of the Oversize Mallard floaters, 18 Full Body Mallards and 2 Doz Oversize Canada shells and I've had no problems with GHG decoys. The paint on the earlier FB Canadas left a bit to be desired but all the others have been very good but by the time the geese see the paint chips it's kinda over! If I had CF's money I'd probably have DSD's but I don't so I had to settle with GHG. Enjoy them, I'm sure yer gonna really like them. K
