I just got two dozen GHG shell decoys. The instructions said to keep each decoy seperat / individually wraped. I know they say to seperate the full bodies, but the shells????? Recomendations on how to care for them please......

What's the point of shells if you can't stack'em?

That's their new way of keeping the paint from chipping.

that is there way of selling more 12 slot decoy bags!!!!!!!!!!

Or having to replace a whole bunch of shells if the paint chips. "Sorry sir, but your GHG shells were not properly cared for since they were stacked instead of stored individually. Therefore, we are not responsible for replacing them."

Stitch,

Did you get the FFD(fully flocked) Shells? If so, I would also keep them seperate. If you got the Over-Size series, it would be fine to stack them. I use the FFD Speck decoys every morning I hunt in a field and I keep them stored in the slotted bags to protect the flocking.

After the post from the summer on the GHG equipment (the kid getting blasted by the GHG rep online) I wouldn't buy crap from them. If you want quality decoys buy quality decoys.

.....I'm not concerned about buying a bag to put them in......my purpose for buying shells was for "space". If I had known I was going to have to store them seperately, I would have purchased full bodies

In fact, the advertisement says you can stack them, directions in the box say store seperately

Stitch, what kind did you buy?

Scott - can you stack the mallard shells? I hunted over the full bodies this weekend and they are by far the most realistic decoy I have ever seen.

I got the a dozen of each shown below. Again, all advertisements say "stack" the. The literature that came with the decoys said to store seperately???????????????

Over-Sizeâ„¢ Duck Shell Decoys
Perfect for big field spreads! Unlike other duck shells that are just duck decoys with the bottoms cut off, these shells are made from GHG® full body ducks so their “5/8 body” give the full effect from anywhere a duck can see them. They stack great so you can store and haul up to 4 times more shells than FBM’s, and their seamless design makes breast splitting impossible. One dozen Universal Motion Stakes included.

stitch,I bought some of the shells also.went to family dollar store and bought a dozen cheapo pillow cases,think they were about 1.25 /case. did not like the the short motion stakes and went to a steel supply shop bought 1/4" steel rod cut them about 3 feet long,rod cost about 3.50 for 20' now I gotta get something like a washer welded to the end of rod. the motio stakes are just to short for most the water I hunt . hope this helpd

case being that they shouldn't advertise them as being stackable, then re-nig on the internal instructions. That's the whole reason for buying stackable shell decoys is to be able to conserve space. I prefer to carry my 12 packs of diet cokes in the cartons they came in instead of 12 individual cans.

Yes, I stack them. I have been carrying them in just a mesh decoy bag and they do fine like that. To get some added motion, I ream out the hole with my UMS.
