I just started goose hunting this year and so far I have 100 snow texas rags. I was thinking about buying more for the spring season. I have about $200 to work with I was thinking about getting 50 blue rags and a dozen GHG oversized snow shells I am also going to make some homemade silos
what do you think I should get

Northwinds.

I am with him...get a whole bunch of windsocks.

Ditto... northwinds...
Like I've said before... buy the Canada socks... turn them inside out and you have snows.. or paint them into blues.

They usually are about $35 per dozen, but watch for sales at Gander or Cabela's

I bought my last 6 dozen for $17 each

I've gotten over 500 now..

There's also a guy in Janesville Iowa who sells his homemade version..
You can find him on E-bay too...
No heads and they are on wooded dowels.. but they are cheap
I bought a dozen.. you can get them for about $20

should i go with the economy or standard windsocks?
does it matter if they have heads on them or not?

 

[mallardhunter]

I don't think it matters if you have a head or not. I plan on getting some economy decoys soon.

I personally think that the heads don't matter that much.
All mine have heads.. everytime the wind changes.. you gotta re-set them. I keep all mine in the feeder position.
I've watched feeding flocks very carefully.. they are almost never head up
