Went to academy today. The carrylite decoys are on sale. I got a dozen mixed for $20 per 6.
Teal were $25 per dozen.
They were all marked clearance

the duckcommander edition ones?

thats my luck, i just dropped 400 dollars on 4doz ghg progrades with all the fixins

they did everything i expected, i worked a group of 20 mallards into 3 decoys with hardly any calling but that sure beats a late season spread of 10 dozen decoys so i aint complaining. i just wish the paint held up a little better

Yeah, they need to put whatever G&H uses for paint, they're the best sticking ones I've seen, but that damn unibody crap sucks, all the decoys are the same shape, with different colors.

i wonder how long it will be before they come out with somethin that looks better that we have to have

I don't think they will. I see it going more motorized and more textured, improving the paint adhesion, but they already cast from world level competition carver's birds, at least GHG does. I recognize a lot of them guys' decoys from seeing the originals in competition, they are top notch, I don't think they can improve on the form, not to an effective degree anyway. Somehow it suddenly jumped from the old 80's models that grandad carved to casting from competition birds.

x2 on how fast they changed, when i bought my last rig it was a dozen flamby mallards and a dozen teal. I thought i was somebody. What all decoys did you get?

Got a dozen prograde wigeon, dozen prograde pintails, 2 dozen mallards, 2 dozen scaup, 4 of the big resting geese, and 60 coots. I have some flambeau mallards, I'm changing them to black ducks only because they are practically brand new from the years before. I want more geese but they're expensive as sht, I need a couple of swans before the season too. I gotta make me a handful of ruddies too, damn I better get busy lol. What'd you get?

not nearly what you got, god dang thats alot of decoys! i just got 6 woodies 6 wigeons 6 gadwalls 12 teal and 18 mallards. I rarley use them all i just wanted a mixed spread of a dozen or so. you must hunt bigwater?

My blind is in deeper water (5-6 ft)about 300 yards from the marsh, but hunt a lot of refuge blinds in the marsh too. The coots came back strong in the past few years, so we've been trying to blend in. We get such a mixed bag here, sometimes need a diver rig, sometimes a low key marsh rig.

my hunts are exactly the opposite, shallow buck brush tighter than a ticks ass with the same woodies here all season. My mixed bag is considered a mallard or gadwall every once in a while. Used to have a blind on catahoula big water but competion was to tough for so few ducks and blinds were gettin burnt down left and right.

woodiebuster where you hunt at around choudrant?

I was lloking for some coots there too but couldn't find any. When academy gets them in stock, I'll get a dozen or so. So I can mix in a few. Where I plan to be hunting, there are more coots than ducks.

I hunt lake darbonne and a beaver pond around truxno. I also make a couple hunts a year to my buddies lease in columbia.

how is that go devil workin for you?

ive been lookin at a 23 for my 1442 alumnaweld but i would rather have a prodrive rig. I think a go devil will do every thing i need.
