I am looking to buy some fullbody decoys for next season and was wondering what brands do you guys like the best. I was also wondering if there are any good online sites to get good deals or what stores have good sales on decoys usually. I really got into goose hunting the last few years and at 15 don't have all the money for everything I want.

Thanks for any help.

Hey, I'm with ya. I'm now 16, own 12 shells, 6 mag-shells, and 6 Hunter-Series Green Head Gear full-bodies. I started with the dozen Carry-Lite shells, then the Carry-Lite mag-shells, & finally the fulls. You just gotta start building it piece by piece. Also start looking for a cheaper lay-out blind. It also wouldn't hurt 2 get some friends 2 start building up your dekes 2, it will really help build your spread. GHG is my brand of chice for full-bodies. wink.gif

( Note from admin,please read forum policy before posting again,thank-you.)

I have about 18 shell decoys that I have been using for the past couple seasons and a blind I got this summer. Most of my friends spend there money on other things instead of goose hunting so that won't work. I also saw the sale on cabelas but nothing I just had to buy. Thanks for the advice.

Used decoys are a great way to build a spread for a fraction of the new cost. If you do like new, Gander and Sportsmans usually have at least 30 percent off at the end of the season on their remaining dekes. I am a GHG man too. Not the best, but excellent value for price.

How much smaller are the lessers though, also how much cheaper?

Here is a link describing the size:

As far as cost goes, depends on where you buy them. Lessers sell for around $140-$160 per six with a bag. I got my FFD lessers for $140 per 6 and that includes a bag. The honkers sell for around $180-$195 per six with a bag. I added 3 doz FFD lessers to my honker spread this year and they worked great. We killed a pile of geese over them this year. I wouldn't hesitate to run all lessers, they also save a pile of room in my trailer!

I've got GHG Field Dekes on my wish list as the number one item. Trouble is they are so expensive. If I get a few I'll have to take them everywhere I go, baby them, make them worth every penny.

If you see a guy driving in the carpool lane with goose decoys seatbelted in, it's me with my new pets grin.gif

I agree with guppie, our group has nothing but GHG goose decoys and primarily GHG duck decoys and we are rough on our decoys but there is very little chipping on the duck decoys and little to no chipping on the goose ones.

Bucknduck, do you have the round bottom bases or just the field motion stakes, if they're the round style i know some people who might be interested.
