If you are a Full Body Mallard nut like me, you better sit down!

Here are photos of painted polyresin replicas of the Sleeper-Style FBM's. The molds will be finished in less than a week, but I thought you guys might like to see what they are going to look like because you cannot tell the difference between polyresins and molded polyethylene decoys when they are painted.

That is the ticket, these things are going to do it "BIG" on the waters edge, sandbars, and ice setups. Big Congrats to the crew on this one!!! Nice base, feet, and breast enhancements.

Tom, care to explain a little about the bases? Are the feet detatchable if we wanted to set them on ice?

They will be available in July. They will come in 4 packs and retail around 79.99.

They are going to be hot so make sure you talk to your local dealer and have them set some aside for you.

Seeing that deke gave me visions of a spot I have here in Pa...a great loafing area. With some FBM sleepers,shells,and floaters mixed,along with the blacks,there will be some ducks a droppin' for sure!:)

Thanks for the pic Tom! Another great deke!

Will it ever stop? I bet the competition hopes so. It seems like everytime that I turn around, we are revolutionizing the waterfowl industry. Am I wrong to think this? I don't think so. Truly a piece of art. I can't wait for next season.

Good Hunting!

Boy oh boy, are those some nice looking sleeper mallard dekes. Once again, avery/ghg raises the bar yet again.

I already have plans on purchasing the harvester pack with the mixture of fullbodies avery offers and know where and when I will use them. I wonder if I can place my order at cabelas already, haha. I am going to have to teach a bunch of golf lessons this summer to pay for my new toys this fall.
