Weird that I don't see Higdons on the survey list. Awesome detail, tough as nails, and generally a good price for a great decoy.

Yeah well, you could do that on Master's pay!! lol I would settle for 3 dozen Big Foots or Higdons right now. I got rid of my Hardcores this summer...just too shiny for me. Now I'm running 6 dozen higdon and GHG shells. Geese don't seem to care if they're shells or not, but man 3...or 4 dozen FB's would sure be nice! Hopefully the GF is getting me some GHG FF FB's for Xmas. Then I'll only have to buy 4...or 5 more dozen for myself. :wink:

Yes, I have a problem. "Hello, my name is Don and I am a gooseaholic"! :banana:

I bought all my decoys on senior airman pay. Of course a deployment to the desert helped off set those costs a tad too. Figured it was a good gift for myself for not dying lol.

E-4 pay??!! Holy carp!! When I was in, E-4 pay SUCKED!! Think it was maybe 11 or 12 hundred bucks a month. TDY pay was nice though huh?

Seen enough sand to last a lifetime!! Freekin Saudi gaurds always trying to touch you for a cold bottledwater?! EEEEEWWWWW. :lame:

Oh I was making 2500 a month ish as an E-4. I make just over 3500 now as an E-5. Those Iraqi TCN's are always touching you, it gets annoying after awhile.

Yeah my bro and sis-in-law are both Masters at Beal. They gotta be pulling down some serious ching right now! Almost makes me wana re-up...eh, too fat, too old. I do miss all the toys I got to play with though! Being a Combat SP had its perks! :wink:

i voted for "other" because you forgot one of the best brands out there...Real-Geese sillos.

So with those 8 dozen...how much did the tractor trailer cost that you carry them in??? :rolling:

Redhead are junk. :lame:

Doesnt even look like a goose decoy. Even more when it sits next to a Big foot or a ghg.

I made my own trailer, cost me $1500 for the flatbed trailer w/ 5500lb axles and then I built walls out of 2x4's, 4x8 osb and trim coil. I have $650 invested in that. So total purchase price was around $2150.

Here is a link to my trailer.

Nice man. Gotta love that Chevy :mrgreen:

Jon McGrath · by **Jon McGrath** » Sat Dec 11, 2010 10:55 pm

It's been a nice little pick up so far. I like my duramax a lot more though.

I personally dont have any decoys....yet :wink:

but one of the guys I hunt with has a ton. Every time we go out, we put out close to 20 dozen shells and full bodies. And he is a field staffer for dakota decoys so he gets a small discount on them :mrgreen:

But dakotas are awesome decoys. When it gets to the middle of the season like it is right now in MO, he doesnt even bag them. Just gently makes a large pile of them in his trailer :rolling:

If I buy dakota's I'll probably bag them, they may not need it but I will still do it.
