Just curious if anyone has hunted over Big Flock Silo Decoys? I have the opportunity to buy 7 doz at half price(4D Mags, 3D stnds) brand new. Just curious what anyone thinks about these? I saw someone asked about buying a doz for a price in a previous post, but I was curious as to if anyone likes or dislikes them? Any feedback would be great! Thanks, Oz
We have a doz. Big Flocks in our spread. Nice to mix in for a little different look, but the white is more gray in color and we didn't get the magnums, so they look a little small. The stakes work, but don't tend to hold them really well in a stiff wind. Still prefer Real Geese, they look and work great.
I personaly dont like them that much, should have bought real geease. I think If u tr to rivit on a maeatal stake it will splitt the plastic . U might be able to replace the fiberglass stake with oak if u can find a thin piece. but if u ask me real geese is the way to go.
I tried them all and like the BFlock Magnums. The price is better, same ABS thickness as the others, and I've found them to be just as effective, easier to keep clean, no fading because they're "silk screen" printed directly on the ABS and not on fabric, and the round fiberglass stakes allow them to "move" with little wind easier. No problems or complaints so far.
Thanks for all the feedback everyone. I ended up buying 7 doz. 4 doz mags and 3 doz standards. I ended up paying under 300 for the entire 7 doz. I did have my suspicions about the stakes but if that ground is froze you are gonna have to pre-pop holes as Hatterwayne said. I figured it was a real good deal to be able to double my spread. Thanks for all the input, I'll let you all know how they do this fall. Thanks again, Oz
