    Selecting decoys

    My goodness, I thought it would be fairly easy to select duck and goose decoys. It's like buying a vehicle! What make do you want? Do you want leather? What color? Did you want new or used? IT'S CRAZY! I thought going used to get started thus cutting my costs. Most folks want new prices or in some cases more than new prices for used decoys! I think I'm just gonna head out to one of these stores, find the ones I like and buy them. Too frustrating.

    Honestly i would love to shop local, but the prices are just absurd.

    Most places dont even carry the most basic gear, and ones that do ( full bodies, layouts, etc) are sometimes 300% higher then in the states. I was at an un named retailer today actually That rhymes with no sale sports and they had hidgon full bodies for $189 plus tax for 4 (non HD). Msrp in the US is $99 and ive seen them on clearence for as low as $69 for 4.

    Mr Parker Not sure if I understand who you mean ha ha, but you speak the truth. Defiantly look south or wait for sale at this countries name tire store. Start with a dozen and build up.

    step 4....drive to the store and pick them up (order them to the store to pick up to be sure they have them), fill up on .88/litre gas and everything else that the toy store sells!

    Option B since you live in mission, have them sent to ship happens...
