Huntin&Fishin Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 just thought I would start a topic for the great deals you guys see at the game fair! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sartell Angler Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 didn't find any!!! I was unable to locate a single box of steel shot at the whole place. That is where I scored a good deal on a case of 3 inch Federals last year.I'd say the best deal was the free climb to the top of the National Guard rock wall...actually did it a few times. That and the free dog food (great to bring along in the blind bag) probably were the only deals I found. Pretty slim... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceHawk Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Have to agree on the shells I also was looking for a case of steel and I couldn't find any this yr! Was fun chatting with some old and new faces at waterfowl hill. Ran into our own Team Otter at the artic armor booth and enjoyed talking and laughing with him again. All in all the Game fair was a good as usual! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Wolf Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 There are alot of places, but they are all pretty spendy. If you need decoys this is the year to buy them. Prices will be going WAY up next year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huntin&Fishin Posted August 13, 2008 Author Share Posted August 13, 2008 Same with shells, stock up steel prices will sky rocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan z Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 every two years or so decoys go up when the new GHG came out a couple years ago decoys prices sky rocketed. what happened to the good ol bigfoot spread. now people use them for fillers and have them fully flocked decoys for the kill.

Quackaddict9 Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 "Prices will be going WAY up next year"Maybe, unless you have a reliable source?......GHG hunter series has raised from $119, 129, 139 to $149 in the last few years. FFD's went up cause of the slotted bags included. Who knows what next years prices will bring to us all. Shells are definitely going up bit by bit each year, depends on which ones. So if you're finding some deals anywhere, I say take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrappieKiller01 Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 recently i sold all my shell decoys. i had 72 carry light magnums. paint was all falling off and plastic was getting shiny. Just want to make sure i am not buying junk decoys. what would you guys recomend the hardcore decoys, FFD lesser full body, or the Final Approach full bodys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan z Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 ffd full bodies are decently priced and a nice looking decoy. get some of those and fill in with bigfoots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Wolf Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 I personally would recommend FFD Lessers.Quackaddict9, reliable resources? Yes I believe so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quackaddict9 Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 I got a dozen FFD lessers and like em but have not tried em out in the field yet, this September I will though. Yeah, I saw somewhere that others said the prices of dekes will go up 10% after this fall...good time to get some dekes when you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quackaddict9 Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 I think I saw some free shipping on shells on rogerssportinggoods dot com. Go check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carpshooterdeluxe Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 rogers has great prices right now; also if you guys have daily delivery from ups or fed ex to your place of work, if you call rogers you can usually negotiate a cheaper shipping rate to your business.
