Which Fullbody duck would you like to see next?

[Eric Larsgaard]

Guys,

We are looking at adding more and more FB ducks to our line up. We are looking at adding a FB Wigeon to the line next year and would like to add one more......

What would all of you like to see????????? FOR 2007!!!!!!


Thanks again for your help. We always go to our customer, we value your opinions....

Eric

[Paul Cupka]

Tom is right. Grey ducks please.

[SwampHunter]

Gadwalls for me. Would look great back in the swamps standing in shallow water in duckweed.

Of course I really think we need a Pintail Feeder Fullbody as well.

[Nicholas Lisec]

I think the Gadwall would be a good addition to the lineup but one of those little Green Wings wouldn't be bad either.

My votes for the Green Wing.

Nick

[Keath Wetovick]

I'd say widgeons and teal. Teal on the sandbars and in the shallow marshes would be the ticket. L/S FB blue and green-wings would be sweet.

[Goldeneyebuster]

I would love to see some woodies to add to the puddler spread . I think that would be the ticket !!!!!:D

[John Traiforos]

Another vote for Gadwalls

[Cory Johnson]

Most definitely Gadwalls, that would be awsome. Then Wood Ducks and GW Teal. But I am ready to get my hands on some FB Pintails !!

[Clayton]

Another for Gadwall!

[Yooper350]

Feeder pintails and then woodies, we could really use some in our field spread and would look great on the edge of a river or pond. I guess woodies would be the most useful for us

[pcgoosehunter]

I don't think Gadwalls are much of a field feeding duck. They need marshes, much like a Pond Surveyor (Shoveler). I know from experience that when it starts getting cold and those Greenheads get addicted to that "Crack" corn, they don't use marshes like Gads or shovelers. They tend to hit corn fields. I think Widgeon is a definite must and Greenwing teal would be killer on mudflats around where I hunt. So I second the teal.

[Daryl Neal]

I would love to see some wood ducks, they would look great on a log in a slough.

[honkerbonkers]

having alot of Teal in my area i would also put my vote in for the speed demons!

[SwampHunter]

Gadwalls and Shovelers feed in the fields around here all of the time. Both will hit the swamps too, but they also fill up the fields too.

[Greg Owens]

I would like to see Teal, Woodies or feeder Pintail. Any of the above would be a great addition to the spread.

Greg

[Wayne Radcliffe]

Gadwalls would be my next vote.

[Cory Johnson]

Ill vote for Feeder Pintails also !!!

[6drakes]

I think you should maybe make a fullbody widgeon but thats where I would stop the full body species line. I would much rather see a feeder, rester, sleeper or preening pintail than I would a gadwall. full body teal would be a complete waste in my opinion just cause they are so small. you can set a GW floater on a mud flat and have the same effect as a fullbody would. My vote is take care of all the pintail fullbodys and mallared fullbody poses, maybe a widgeon drake in active and feeder. then if Fredies hands havn't fallen off you could do other species. Again thats my opinion and I'm sure you could care less.

[Tim Bouchard]

Gadwall & GW Teal for me. They would be great on the edge of the rivers and marshes.

[duckboy1]

well said!

[chad belding]

I love the idea of Over Sized Full Body Green Wing Teal. In Nevada, the teal frequent the edges of ponds very often. the colors on these decoys would be awesome. I can not wait to see what happens with this line in the near future.

Good Hunting!

Chad Belding
Avery Outdoors

[Eric Strand]

The top 3 for me would have to be:

1) Wigeon
2) Feeder Pintails
3) Shoveler

[Nicholas Lisec]

6drakes:

In regard to the last statement that you make about us not caring about what your opinion is, that could not be farther from the truth. The whole idea of Eric starting this thread was to get a bunch of opinions and see what the general idea was. Avery/GHG models a lot of their product lines on what the hunter/consumer wants so to say that your opinion doesn't matter isn't true. You had a great idea there and I know that I will be considered.

Thanks for helping out and we appreciate your input as well as everyone elses.

[shooter_57]

Spoonies! The visibility would be significantly better than with other ducks (except pintail of course) and like 'em or not they're everywhere.

Oh man... you'd have to be hardcore to buy and set full bodied spoonies, wouldn't you? For me, whatever it takes to duplicate the natural setting.

[Cory Johnson]

Spoonies, those would be awsome!! What ever yall decide to make, there ganna be SSWWEETT

[tealtom]

I'm gonna change my vote to woodies instead of widgeon. I could probably use the woodies more than the widgeon. Timber and some flooded fields around here.

[ACEBLDRS]

I would own a couple of them bootlipped full bodies.

[Mallards-N-Muskies]

Wood ducks please!

[SwampHunter]

Shovelers would be nice too.

[Richnkwack]

I'd say gadwall. I'm seeing a lot of gadwall responses and a couple months back I got shot down for the idea...o well.

-Mark Wood

[Dux r me]

id make the wigeon and stop and work on other projects just dont think any other species is usefull

[Dux r me]

and make a fb brant

[Torrey L]

what kind of people shoot spoonies :(
I vote for feeder pintails

mallards, pintails and gadwalls are the only real meal :)

[Jude St.John]

I think full bodied ducks in other species would be great, but I would usually only put the mallards and blacks to good use.

[Tom Matthews]

I love reading through these responses because it never ceases to amaze me how opinions can be so widespread. It's really interesting to get such a broad spectrum of ideas from so many different parts of the waterfowling world. My absolute favorite post so far is:

“id make the wigeon and stop and work on other projects just dont think any other species is usefull….and make a fb brant”.

You guys are too much…..

Keep the ideas and votes coming please!

Tom

[Ross R]

Full body woodies would be pretty sweet. i have seen them up on logs and on the banks of a muddy pond that we hunt. the full bodys would kill them.

[bullhead]

First would be woodies, then only if you had enough interest the fb BRANT. besides the edges of the marsh, they have stated to use the fields in good numbers.

[Keath Wetovick]

I'm still goin with the spoonies and teal.

[Kraig Storbeck]

I would like to see a Gadwall!




Kraig Storbeck
Avery Pro-Staffer

[Clayton]

It is interesting to see the various responses based on individual hunting areas and experiences. I voted for gadwall for that reason. I have seen a few field feeding in ND. Around here we are on a managed lake which is drawn down during the winter creating expansive mudflats and shallow water. The dominant duck on the lake are gadwall. They would work great here. Gadwall also will feed heavily in sheet water in farm fields around here so they would also be useful there. We get a few wigeon and a few shovelers around here using the same habitat. Others in different areas may encounter more wigeon and shovelers in the same situations and few gadwall. No one selection is wrong, it just may not be the best for an individual hunters situation. Despite my preference for gadwall, the drake wigeon or shovelers would have much greater visibility.

[Chris Smith]

Another vote for FB Woodies. I can picture 3 or 4 standing on a floating log in my favorite block of flooded timber... Grey ducks would look great too!

[Doug Steinke]

My vote would be for a feeding pintail, then a gadwall.

I can see a reasoning for a full body wood duck. Not my picture.

http://webpages.charter.net/silverbellies/woody.jpg

[Michael Weiss]

My vote is for the the Full Body Black Duck! We do get a bunch of these down at Carlyle for some reason. They are always with the mallards.

[Goldeneyebuster]

perfect pic silver bellies .Thats exactly what i had in mind !!!!:D

[xdasher19]

I would have to say I would like like to see a fb teal or spoonie, but i also think you guys NEED to make a butt-up goose decoy

[headhunter]

Another for gadwalls

[Nick Bury]

I would say some teal and woodies

[6drakes]

Nick,
When I said that "i'm sure you could care less", that came out way wrong. I was not accusing avery off not listening to their customers. Obviously you do since you are the only company that has an open forum for us. What I was meaning was that I do know that company's go with the masses as far as demand and I can see that my opinions on the full body ducks is greatly outnumbered by gadwalls, teal, and woodies and I'm sure that as a smart company you will make your decisions based on what your pro-staffers and the majority of others want not what I would like to see.
I hope you didn't take offence to my comment. I just would really like to see the ones I mentioed but I don't think it will happen. at least not until you have done all these other species. I will say that if you do make a fullbody gadwall, teal or woodie it will be awesome. It will just have no purpose for my hunting applications. I'm not offended by this in any way cause I know you can't please everyone all at once.

[oltcutdown]

For an AR/MS field hunter & some timber, some mudflat hunting in AL I'd say (this assuming the FB Blacks are gonna be available this fall),

1. FB Feeder Pintail
2. FB Wigeon (eventually including a feeder)
3. FB shoveler
4. FB gwteal

I wouldn't consider buying a FB gadwall because I don't really have a place to use them specifically. If I had a spot in AL, I could easily get away with using the FB blacks. I would think that fullbody gadwall wouldn't be very visible in the areas I may use them (mudflats, timber, or sloppywet dry bean fields).

[shooter_57]

what kind of people shoot spoonies :(Man, you need to show some imagination. That, and open your eyes.

If I set out a Heron decoy, does that mean I'm shooting herons? If I set out coot decoys, do you really think I'll be pulling the trigger on a coot? What about an egret perched on the edge of a pond? What's the limit on egrets anyhow????

For me, the reason to set out bootlip dekes is because you can see 'em, ducks can see 'em and the darned things are pretty much everywhere a duck cares to travel. For those who choose to set out something other than the tired old 2-3 dozen decoys placed in a wad 20 yds in front of the tule clump they're huddled in, it makes some amount of sense to simulate a setting that looks like it's a real gathering of ducks just chillin out and lookin to party.

[Josh Noble]

I vote for FB Spoonbills and FB GW Teal. Imagine this... You've got a FB Spooner in the old head down skimming mode, with a couple with of his active head buddies standing by, and off to the side you've got the group of resting FB GW Teal watchn' the spoony madness. What a sight. I can't wait. Freddie what's the hang up. Let's getter done. WE NEED THIS!!!! Matthews don't you have any control of that guy? Oh, by the way I see a retail somewhere between $5.00 a dozen and $150,000 a dozen, sound about right Mueller???....

[Jersey Devil]

i would say woodies but in small packs say maby 3pack 2 drakes and 1 hen or all drake.

[Duckslayercam]

My vote goes towards the woodies also.

[Brad H]

Gadwalls and then Widgeon!!!!

[Garret Dietz]

i would have to say FB weigons would look awsome. Not onlyy they would look good on the bank, but i have shot them while hunting in feilds, when they have came in with big bunches of mallards.

[In-coming]

1- feeder pintail
2- widgeon
3- gadwall

[Joe Fladeland]

1) Finish all of the Mallard and Pintail poses(feeders, resters, sleepers, etc.)
2) Blue-winged & Green-winged teal
3) Wood Ducks
4) Wigeons
5) Gadwalls

[Torrey L]

Man, you need to show some imagination. That, and open your eyes.


It was more directed as a joke there. But you did bring up a good one, the Heron decoy (safe bird).
Oh.oh. you should of mentioned full body coots and full body egrets while you were talkin. :) lol

[Torrey L]

1) Finish all of the Mallard and Pintail poses(feeders, resters, sleepers, etc.)
2) Blue-winged & Green-winged teal
3) Wood Ducks
4) Wigeons
5) Gadwalls

I so agree with Dakota Kid.. Those will be the best.

[Thall101]

I would like to see a feeder pintail. But everybody suggestion are great why dont you just do them all.

[Cody Frazier]

In this order please:
GADWALLS!!!! & Wood ducks

Goose butts with flocked tails
Sleeping Mallard floaters.

[Ben Cade]

Gotta go with Gadwalls. I'd say Wood Duck FBs would be helpfull sometimes as well.

[Ryan Vande Griend]

hmmm
interesting...thoughts guys!
I read all the posts thus far, and have seen Gadwall, Teal, Wood Duck, and Widgeon, and dif. pintail/Mallard poses.
I myself would only maybe consider even buying the mallards, because I dont field Hunt very much for ducks.
Teal...would be cool little guys, but ahh not sure if I would buy a FB over a floater...same with gadwall...I wouldnt have a place for them. I do realize you boys down south have nice places, but for Avery, I dont think sales would be great.
For woodies, I wouldnt bother.
I say this becauseyou really cant balance a FB decoy on a slipery log, and besides they go so fast, its mostly pass shootin them.

Therefor lol...My Choices
1)A FB Widgeon. Fred WOuld make a beutiful widgeon.
2)A high looker Pintail Drake. Often looking over potholes in Dakotas, you see a tall White chest of them big bull sprigs.
3) I think fraizier said it well to get a sleeper floatin mallard and maybe a goose butt wtih flocked black.!!

sry for long post, but im bored so there ya have it!!

[ACEBLDRS]

AS far as woodies on a log and pass shootin em, if you have a good looking spread, maybe you wouldn't have to pass shoot them.

Also, just because you put out a woodie or a spoonie, that doesn't mean that you are targeting those ducks. Maybe just maybe, a person is trying to make there spread look more realistic, i know, it is a crazy thought. I try to make my spread look like what i see when scouting.

If i see a bunch of Gads and Widg landing amungsth coots, then that is what i want my spread to look like.

[Cody Frazier]

well put ACE.

I was plannin on rigging me a deal up where I could clamp some FB wood ducks to some tree limbs (2" diamter or smaller" for ulimate looks.

Please make some gaddies and wood ducks along with the widgeon GHG.

[derek]

I vote for Widgeons and Gadwalls. Teal seem like they'd be a bit small, and actually, shovelers seem like a great idea for visibility. however, I would never need shovelers, don't really have a place where they are. for those of you who don't like shovelers... send em to the Atlantic Flyway... I'll whack em.

I will also add to those who say they'd like to see Goose Butts, and other floater styles like sleepers, surface feeders and such for puddle ducks. that'd be pretty nice.

derek

[mtzgoosestunna05]

Cooters!!!!!!

[HeatherReddemann]

Personally, I think a wood duck full body decoy would be useful and add some spice to the spread.... I think a 6-pack would be ideal....

It really depends on what area you are hunting in and what species are most common to you... It is neat to see everyone's opinions and preferences.

I love my full body Mallards for field or water... they work GREAT!!!

[TxHonker]

I would say Gadwalls or Widgeon. But I have already made plans to change some new black ducks into gadwalls, they look close enough. As for all of the other species, they would all be cool but when is enough ? Ducks may get that smart but for now I dont think they care.

[2labs]

Ill stay with the Mallards and Blacks, they are the most common around here!!

[J Kryspin]

I would think the biggest market would be to complete the lineup of FB Pintails (Sleepers, Resters, Feeders) vs. another duck.

[Eric Larsgaard]

Keep them coming. It is unbelievable how you guys pull the weight for us when we need to make tough decisions. We value all of your thoughts and opinions.

If you guys have not noticed we value all of your decisions. For example the last few reader poles and questions have been about what decoys you would like to see next.
The top 3 choices where as follows.
1. Bufflehead
2. Hot Buy Goose Shell
3. LS Goose Floater
This pole was taken last year this time and we are proud to announce you will see all of these for the 2006 season.
Unlike other things your votes count with us. They always will. This company was built by die-hard hunters from the ground up and die-hard hunters like yourselves will always have a some input to what we do.

If we have not said it before THANKS we truly appreciate your thoughts and ideas.

Avery Staff!

[walleye killer]

we dont have gaddy's and teal and woodrow's are only here for bout a week after the season so i wouldnt have use for any. I would however like the flocked goose butt. that would be killer. maybe also a surface feeder. that would be sweet as well.

[GooseFlocker]

I'll take a 6 pack or more of woodies. ;) They love them fresh picked cornfields early in the season, before the mallards arrive. :D

[Kevin Carter]

My vote goes for Full Bodied Coots. :D

Just kidding

I'd have to say:
1)Widgeons
2)Feeder Pintails
3)Green Wing Teal

[compass]

1. Pintails
2. More pintails
3. Widgeon

I'd love to upgrade my Eberharts. They are great in rice country...

[Wingman]

about 3 dozen Feeder Widgeon and a single widgeon with its head up.

[Aaron Hitchins]

Has anybody tallied up the final results?

I think this would be good in a poll so you could get a better grasp on what people are favoring. As for me, I'm with Jude with only using Mallards and Blacks, but i think if y'all may a Teal mold you can paint it for both BW and GW, and I think woodies would be a great idea as well... but to me doing everything in drakes only would be good because almost all puddle duck hens look very similar, and they are all very camoflauged, so only once the ducks were closing would they be visible.

Drake Woodies

Drake GW/BW

That would cover all our species of puddle ducks.

[Josh Carda]

personally i think woodies would be great!

[Alex Langbell]

My vote is for an American Widgeon. The drakes color full head would stand out nicely in the field or bank.

I can't wait until we come out a whistle duck. Imagine, you could have a couple of these sitting on the limbs over hanging your favorite duck pond. The possiblities are endless......:D

[shawfowl]

fb wigeon all the way feeder's and rester's.would be awesome to use them here in oregon,and maybe coot's for confidence.alway's watching coot's walk around on the flat's feeding with mallard's and wigeon.i already use coot's on the flat's.just cut out the bottom of decoy and used old broken arrow shaft's to hold them up and they move with a little breeze.i would for sure by the fullbodie's....shawn

[Jeff Riverin]

My vote for the Gadwall

[Cody Frazier]

My vote for the Gadwall

same here Jeff.:)

[walleye killer]

did this ever get determined....

[RedBarren]

I would like to see Teal, Woodies or feeder Pintail. Any of the above would be a great addition to the spread.

Greg


Same here...

[Eric Strand]

I can't wait to see the Wigeon. They will really come in handy here in the northwest. A gadwall would look good but wouldn't be horribly usefull in this part of the country. The next bird I would like to see that is somewhat mallard sized is a cackler.

[J Kryspin]

I still say that the current line (i.e. Pintails) be finished before starting on a new species.

Pintail Hen (Active, Feeder, Rester, Sleeper)
Pintail Drake (Feeder, Rester, Sleeper)

[walleye killer]

I am all for a woody.

[Will DeBlois]

My vote goes towards either Gadwall or Widgeon,

Either way they will be a great addition.

GWT Fullbody's wouldn't be bad either.

[A Grant]

I agree that a feeder and rester pintail would be knock-outs and highly visable. I think I read in DU that gadwall are not generally field eaters. There are exceptions though. I am sure.

[Aaron Hitchins]

Gadwalls are too camoflauged to be effective as a FB in my opinion. I would like to see Feeder Rester Sleeper Pintails but I wouldn't bother with the hens or extra positions until all of the key species are finished. I would personally love to see a rester Wood Duck for our area and maybe a teal FB carving that could be repainted for each of the subspecies, killing 3 birds with one stone. Just some ideas though, because I really would be interested in what they decided on.... I'm guessing widgeon

Aaron

[Chris Holleger]

My vote is for a FB Gadwall.

[Hunts4Honx]

Gadwalls!!!

[Take'Em]

My vote is for GW Teal

[Josh Carda]

Gadwall Wigeons and Teal

[Derek Rambo]

Wigeon
Pintail Feeder
Wigeon Feeder

[CanadaCaller]

My Vote would be for
1: Improve/supplement current Decoys(Mallards, blacks, pintails including hens)
2:Brant FB would be cool.

[zippyduck]

I always wanted wooducks that could be placed on logs and in backwater areas. They would sell like hotcakes.

[James Staten]

Gadwalls, then teal maybe even some shovlers. The wood duck idea would be cool in the shallow timber. I dont have any FB duck decoys but I will remedy that this year with the mallards and who knows next year maybe Gadwalls (Hint Hint).

Keep em coming
River Reaper

[James Staten]

Also I forgott, sleeper floater mallards would be great. SWIVEL HEAD MALLARD FLOATERS MAYBE. Just a thought. Feeder but pintails maybe??
I dont know seems like the guys at GHG never stop making a great product always something new. And always very realistic. Cant go wrong with GHG!!

River Reaper

[Joe Robison]

WIth Wooduck being the #2 duck harvested here in Michigan I would like to see a Woodduck. Lots of opportunities here in the Sweet Corn Fields and Harvested Sileage fields.

[Richnkwack]

I would vote for Gadwall fullbodies. Definately would be a seller in my area.

-Mark Wood

[Michael R Braun]

I have read every ones post and must say that there is not one wright or wrong decoy to produce. Every hunter has his way of hunting. Here In NJ We get just about every duck you can think of. I am a sculler and when the full bodied mallards came out that was great for me I did not need to carve my own. We scullers like to set a rig of stools out and scull in when the birds have landed.I put the FB out on the river banks, sand bares and the edge of the ice. This is how I hunt and why I say style of hunting differs from one to another. But to sell these decoys you must look at it with the view of versatility. Every one has an idea and reason. That is what this forum is all about.
so to sell them you must look at all the psotives and potetial use of the decoys for all the hunters. So in my opinion this should cover evrybodies needs.

Pintails line is a must. GW teal as well.( resters feeders and so on) These ducks habits are to feed in shallow water and mud flats also the fields. They are the most common that is hunted every wear. Widgeon's as well.

Gadwalls will stool right in to the mallards and blacks, so they are not high on the list.

shoveler are great visibility but the pintails already have that effect.

Brant would be high seller and for all you guides out there you know what I mean, not only popular to hunt but great for confidence. I can not tell you how many times I have seen large groups of divers poor into the Brant. To a duck the Brant is like a watch dog! many eyes and safety in numbers. They would work great on the Banks at low tide, salt ponds and on the ice edges. I do not shoot them but would most definitely buy them for this reason. Floaters and FB on Brant have value.

Being a wood duck fan I would love to see some FB but the Truth is if your are hunting woodies your are consistently scouting they tend to get shot out quickly and always on the move. If you are hunting them then you are 1 pass shooting or 2 you are doing your home work and find out where they wont to be. at least where I am anyway.

Coot would make a nice confedence stand up and for those of you that do not take a chance to hunt them you are missing out! if you brest them out and sterfrie them they are great eating!

agean this is my opinion and my experience in the Field from watching and hunting these birds all my life.

Mike
PS with all these request if you need a carvers help look me up I love to lend a hand.

[Michael Reed]

I would vote for Gadwall fullbodies. Definately would be a seller in my area.

[Rhett Riddle]

Very nice! Explain to us whether you made them for personal use, or were you field testing them for Avery?

[Travis Mueller]

He was just using them for personal use. We are still not decided on which one will be next. Sweet decoys though, and great idea.

[jamesmc]

Woodies would be my vote!

[Mid West Goose Hunter]

Woodies, Gads and Widgeons

[Craig Boyd]

My vote goes to the grey duck also. I would love to get my hands on some of those in a fullbody style!

Although...a green-wing FB would be pretty sweet too.

[Chad Ryan]

widgeons...

[Hunter Parrish]

I would like to see GW Teal Fb's(Feeder & Active), but widgeon is very close second!

[lakerwaterfowler]

FB widgeons, but would prefer to see feeder pintails come out first!

[bighonkers89]

a few woodies on a washed up log would be priceless..

[Eric Wolf]

a few woodies on a washed up log would be priceless..

One word for Full Body Wood Ducks.

DEADLY.

[Lybeck]

I'm gonna have to go with the Green Wing teal and the Shoveler that all I shoot from october -december they'd look great in the flooded pasture and in small puddles. as for Gadwalls and woodies I can't say I've ever seen one so I couldn't really use them but the wigeon that could be really really useful thats the number one duck that I see I love those little guys.

[QuackerWacker]

I'd like to see a wigeon feeder a shell if possible. Us guys on the west coast would buy tons.

[quackaddict]

I would buy gaddies, wood ducks would be aswsome too!

[chad belding]

I like the idea of Full Body Teal as well as Full Body Gadwalls. We hunt many areas where the wigeon, teal, mallards, sprig, and gads feed in the short grass. We set up with our Neo-Tubs and Ground Force blinds with Full Bodies and floaters around us. The ducks never see it coming. I can not wait to see what the future holds as far as the full body line goes.

Good Hunting!

[Black River]

A Feeder Sprig is a must. With the Active Sprig already out, I would think Avery/GHG would want to finish it up with a feeder.

[Kevin Kriha]

My vote goes with the wood duck!

One thing I noticed early in the season as we did more field hunting for geese was Wood Ducks, everywhere! They frequented the corn fields right up until the weather pushed them south. We could draw them into shooting range with the mallard FBs, but I would love to watch them land into a spread of 6 or so FB Woodies!

I vote for woodies and green wing teal!

I would like to see you focus on adding pintail postures. I have some Eberhart decoys which are quite ugly compared to GHG, but they are very effective and highly visible with that "rester" posture, both drakes and hens. Feeders and resters would likely be very effective. A spread along the check or on sandbars would be great. We get them to come down in the Rice fields even on bluebird days. They (the Eberhart's) give the look of the closed zones in the refuges. I would probably add 5-6 dozen feeders and resters, would like them to be packaged 4drakes/two hens.

I think there is more to this then posted. It might be hard to justify making a new mold for a decoy that a hunter may only purchase a few of. From this point forward, post up what you would like to see and how many of these could you see adding to your existing spread. This should be more helpful to the folks deciding on what to make and how much to make. Also, how you would like to see them packaged. Thanks!

Well, Gadwalls would be my first choice but I can just paint some up myself...

My vote is for: Fullbody Wigeons. Sell them as 12pks 8d/4h. I have heard some talk through the grapevine about a FB wigeon in the works for the 08-09 season. I would buy around 6-8 dozen NO DOUBT ABOUT IT!
One thing to realize, in Washington State, the majority waterfowl hunting is flooded Fields... So, if we come out with these it's would be a big hit! The #1 duck killed on the west side is Wigeon. I belong to a private duck club with 800 acres of flooded corn, oats and alfalfa - FB wigeons are deadly anyway you look at it!

I definetely vote for Green Wing Teal!

[QuackerWacker]

I agree with Micheal Reed wigeons would sell big out here if it was a shell I'd but at least 100 of them.

Wigeons wigeons and more wigeons I bought 18 more floaters today so I now have 2 dozen wigeons I sure would love to add a couple dozen fullbodys to mix in with my floating wigeons and mallards and my fullbody mallards and pintails that would be sweet!!!!!

I would like to see a feeder pintail.. But I also think like to see like a looker mallard or pintail would be great to..
