Big Mat Posted August 10, 2017 Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 That reminds me that a few of my decoys are looking a little shabby, especially the teal. Might have to treat myself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motty Posted August 10, 2017 Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 Mat - Talking to Tidepool at the Game Fair, they have a load of Avian X duck decoys on the way. Be interesting to see what his prices are. I am after some new decoys, but may order straight from the U.S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mat Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 Mat - Talking to Tidepool at the Game Fair, they have a load of Avian X duck decoys on the way. I'll keep an eye out for them coming in, or see them at the Fenland game Fair! I usually just use a load of cheapish decoys, with some decent pintail to bring some size and boldness into the pattern, but some of my teal nearly have no paint left Now!

marsh man Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 I must say Penelope even with my poor eye sight you could tell they were Greys a country mile off , no seriously , they look excellent , in fact they are to nice to shoot over , you will have to make sure not to shoot at anything under 45 degrees Are they stackable or full body ? , if full body , how do you manage to carry a dozen and the rest of your gear , and then any geese you have shot on top of that lot . tell yer boy , them Essex chaps are not as soft as people make out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Me matt Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 how do you manage to carry a dozen and the rest of your gear His butler does all his carrying.... ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penelope Posted August 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 J - They are full bodied. They will be used on a bit of ground in Northants where I can either drive fairly close or use a hard surfaced foot/bridle track and load them onto an old carp fishing barrow depending on where I'm going. There are a dozen full bodied greys to go with them too. I'll take a photo of the loaded cart at some point and post it.

WelshAndy Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 Thought I'd share my lot...... Not as impressive as the avian x's but work, shells look better when they're on their pegs. Roll on September! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penelope Posted August 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 (edited) They all work Andy. I have a dozen of the shells in the middle of your shot that I am passing on to a young lad who is just starting out and has recently joined a small goose shoot that I am a member of in Northamptonshire.
