teal27 Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 I'm looking at buying some Greylag/pink foot goose sillosock decoys from Uk shoot warehouse, has anyone used these with success? And is there a discount code for us on here that works? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sako751sg Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 Ive just got rid of the last full bodies and im using 60+ silos and 20 shells. Great being able to get that amount into a relatively small box compared to the fulls and they work fine. Used twice this week and the only thing i think is wrong are they are a wee bit too brown so have ordered grey spray to give them a touch up.

Penelope Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 Have you got some? If so, what are they like? I have been looking at the ones Riverside Outdoors do on ebay as a bulk out for the full body Greys and Canada shells that I have. I quite like the foamies as a cheap goose decoy.

I have been looking at the ones Riverside Outdoors do on ebay as a bulk out for the full body Greys and Canada shells that I have. I have some of the foamies from riverside outdoors that i got off the bay & think they are very good. They have a good look to them & move a little from side to side in the wind so look as if they are moving along feeding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motty Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 Paul - I have a dozen foamies and have shot a fair few greys and canadas over them. They are a decent, lightweight decoy. I only have the grey goose foamies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6.5x55SE Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 Sillosocks are the way t go. Great decoysNot if there's No Wind or Freezing Moon Light Frosty Morning or Persistent Rain 👎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthonychez Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 Found them as good in frost and not wind as any others altho rain is their downfall just like with other plastic decoys that shine when they get wet!! I have full bodies shells and sillosocks and find that they get the most use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penelope Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 These don't shine when wet. http://www.djdecoys.com/product/supreme-full-bodied-flocked-greylag-decoys/ Not cheap, but very good. When using a mixed lot of decoys (mine and a friends), what Greys that have pitched in have always landed alongside them.

Penelope Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 My experiences of dealing with Gwyn have been very good. He even pretended to mess me about when I was chasing the delivery of these into the country last year to help my girlfriend fool me over last year's Christmas present, by saying they were due in, not arrived yet, I'm chasing, etc, etc to stop me buying them as she had ordered them early. I know he sold out very quickly. How many did you get?

Penelope Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 I usually called him on the phone. Pleasant chap. A dozen look good all stake out, although awkward to carry. I now use my old carp fishing barrow to cart em around along with a dozen flocked Canada shells. 3 times I emailed him and I never got a reply.

Continental Shooter Posted December 2, 2016 Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 i bought a dozen of these on ebay to replace my old full body and add to the dozen FUD I was given last year ... so far no complaints apart from the geese even with no wind at all they stay up and look alright ... dare i thinking what would happen when it's windy Anyway, it's a life changer! long are the hours spend having to transport 20/30 full body up and down the field.... i have a military rucksack when they all fit in nicely, the fud hanging on one side and the gun on top ... hands free and litterally minutes to set up the pattern ...

teal27 Posted December 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 I got the foamies in the end as Motty said. They are a good realistic goose decoy, using them in the morning. Has any one used goose decoys along with pigeon decoys in a separate spread about 30 yards apart? There hundreds of pigeon on this piece of land and would kill some time waiting for the pinks to come in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There hundreds of pigeon on this piece of land and would kill some time waiting for the pinks to come in My advice would be if you are after Geese then goose Decoys only. Set a Goose limit eg 6 get set up in the dark shoot 6 asap pack up and leave Geese to feed undisturbed.Personally hate to see/hear of people sitting half/all day with Goose Decoys out. I won't say where or who but I took a PW member under the Moon shot a few No Decoys whilst talking after we had finished skein after Skien pilled into the field 8k before we shot and still 8k+ are feeding on that field. Just a after thought IF you are in a club from your area check your club rules 👍 Most of all enjoy yourself but shoot with restraint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teal27 Posted December 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 I totally agree, my limit is four! Then I will move up the field after the pigeons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anser2 Posted December 21, 2016 Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 I tend to have a sliding limit depending on how far I have to walk back to the car with them and what sort of geese they are. Two pinkfeet or greylags are quite enough for me if I have a mile to walk back with them , otherwise four is my normal limit though I might take one or two more if I have not shot any geese for some time. Provided that is that I can find a home or use them myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
