Low Cost......

Postby mekillini » Wed Jan 19, 2011 9:41 pm

If you are looking for a low cost way to transport your full bodies, here is how we do it. We use white, grain super sacks. Each sack can hold aproximately 3 dozen dekes. We can transport 3 sacks, blinds, and goose shells. The white super sacks can be used for snow covers, and are very effective. For you guys that handle your full bodies with kid gloves...this isn't for you, but if your like me and can't afford a nice decoy trailer or are looking for a less expensive way to get your tools of the trade to the field, this may be the ticket..... :beer:

Where can you purchase those sacks - I tried searching on the net and cannot locate a spot to buy?

If you have a nearby grain elevator they give them away. I got 5 for my bigfoots, sometimes the fields are too wet to drive in so I just put my fullbodies in the bags and drag the decoys in. They really are nice, I think I got 20 bigfoots in one bag.

I agree. They are awesome. We got ours from a major grain mill here in town. I will try to find out who makes them, but free is always better. :thumbsup:

We dont have those around where I am from - but thanks for the tip... I think if I can get some of these, they will work great for a quicker clean-up vs. bagging all the individual deeks. I will keep looking....
