Minnesota Waterfowl Hunting

With so many choices of paint schemes, material, foam filled vs not, magnum vs standard, etc. from which decoy company would you buy your next decoy from?

I picked up a dozen of the Avian X dekes in the Mallard Feeders and the Central Flyway combo (Gadwall & Widgeon). They seem to have decent color and I like the soft body material. Hopefully they will hold up when the ice comes.

bigfoot originals for geese

aero outdoor's dropzone full curls for dux....

been using both for years and don't have a reason to switch to something more trendy

G&H

RGII for field geese and BF for H2o geese.

G&H for duck for h2o and field.

As MM said, I've used them for many years now, so why bother with the fads?

But I will say that if I were to buy more duck decoys, Avian X would get a consideration.

FF has Promised special buy mallards, $50 per dozen.

Didn't break open a box to see the quality.

If I were to add production type blocks I'd go G&H or the cheapest plainest #'s blocks I could find.

I've had the Avian X mallard since they came out 3 or 4 years ago . . . super durable and real looking. I just toss them in a decoy bag. No need for 12 slot decoys or whatever.

I like foots and real geese for field hunting.

I want to replace the decoys on the lines with Homers. Otherwise I want to try out the avian decoys. Those ghg pro grades I bought last year are already flaking and getting rubbed. That's in slotted bags even. Not impressed.

That's too bad to hear. That's mostly what I run. I have some G&H and some other super old ones that were my grandpas and the rest are GHG. GHG have held up extremely well for me and I abuse my decoys. I do not own any newer versions though. All mine are 5-13 years old. The avian x decoys look nice but I haven't looked at decoys very close lately because I have more than I need.

Favorite duck decoy for water - Avian X
Favorite goose field - DOA
Favorite goose water - Bigfoot by far and away on this one. The bigfoot floaters are awesome I think.

I think the Avian X mallard fb's are awesome looking but have never tried because they are so dang expensive. a guy can get used GHG mallard fbs for pretty cheap now.

Dakota's for ducks. Bigfoots for water. Tanglefree full bodies for field hunting.
