WelshAndy Posted December 1, 2012 Report Share Posted December 1, 2012 Hi has anyone had any experience with this type of decoy? These seem pretty reasonable http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/12-X-FEEDING-GOOSE-HUNTING-DECOYS-SHOOTING-GEESE-SHELL-DECOYING-FOAMIES-/310521783571?pt=UK_SportingGoods_Hunting_ShootingSports_ET&hash=item484c8a6513&_uhb=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markyboy Posted December 1, 2012 Report Share Posted December 1, 2012 Thought about then myself but you get what you pay for I don't think they will be up to much but I might be wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoggy Posted December 1, 2012 Report Share Posted December 1, 2012 Andy, avoid them like the plague.......they really are pants. I had 4 of them given to me...Awful quality and in my view look even worse when out in the field. Despite the makers claim of being non reflective this is not the case. Tried them on 3 trips and the Geese seemed to aviod my decoy pattern. Took these 4 out of my pattern on the next trip and hey presto...the Geese came in. Was this pure coincidence...who knows. But I no longer use them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the ones in the link are of cheap make and are definately to be avioded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelshAndy Posted December 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2012 Cheers guys! I'll stay away :-) they did look pretty pants but thought I'd ask here anyway. Looking to add to the 14 'proper' decoys I already have but want to keep the weight down. Thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris o Posted December 1, 2012 Report Share Posted December 1, 2012 Friend of mine owns and runs riverside outdoors and he sell them. We have used them numerouse amounts of times with good success. We mainly use the pink and canada ones and we don't have any issues with them. They move in the wind so add movement to the patterns light wieght and due to them folding together very easy to carry large amounts of them for long distances. Give him a ring or visit his website riverside outdoors his name is mike slater and there based in manchester. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clayandgame Posted December 1, 2012 Report Share Posted December 1, 2012 I will second that. Give Mike or Gary a call there decoys work a treat. Mike spends a lot of time filming there success and there is a video of it on their website www.riversideoutdoor.co.uk and on youtube i think. If you need a tel number pls PM me. They are both very helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
