G&H, I bought a set 4 yrs ago(I to am in college as with alot of others on here) and they still look new. My buddy also bought a set from Cabelas and his look good also. A good tip is to buy a slotted decoy bag, it will protect them alot better than the plain jane decoy bag

Look at it this way you could buy 1 dozen G&H's and they'll last 10-15yrs, or buy a dozen of Avery's or GHG's every 2-3 years. :?


If you don't have the funds go to Tunica one weekend and kill em at the blackjack table. Problem solved.

The Indian's in Philadelphia bought my waders for me. :lol:

My experience with the Hot Buys is that unless you spray some kind of protectant on them, you might get a whole season out of them.

If you're in college, don't go out for a couple of nights and you'll have enough to get you some G & H's.

G&H, unless you just like repainting disposable decoys. You will spend more on gas the first weekend of the season than the cost of a dozen good dekes.

deocys

Id say G$H are nice, but go to walmart and buy you a dozen flambea for 20 bucks, if they aint got em go to acadamy and buy there dozen for 18 bucks, that will at least get you by untill you can get money to buy some nice ones! Heck all i got is cheap ones. they all look like crap but they work!!

i've killed a hell of a lot of ducks over flambeu decoys....

funny thing though...had some poachers in one of my pits last year.... they took a half a dozen of those old flambeu decoys...but left 6 Carry-Lites pretty good trade :lol:
