FB Goose Bag Dimensions?

[Mike Carter]

I am really interested in getting some Full Body Goose Bags for this season and was wondering if anybody has the dimensions on these - so I can see how many I can fit in my truck. I found the dimensions for the 12 slot duck bags on the Avery website, but couldn't find anything for the FB Goose Bag.
Thanks.

I don't have the dimensions, but when considering how many you can fit in your truck, remember the heads will come into play on fitting them in. I have a short bed GMC and can really only get 4 bags in with heads on. The lookers are really tough to fit due to the long necks. I sold all my 2005 FFDs and am buying the 2006 version with removable heads so I should be able get almost 5 or 6 bags in the bed in bags.

Mike, I asked this a couple of weeks ago and Jeremy was all over it.

Duster,
Thanks for the thread. It's just what I needed to know. This message board is an awesome resource. Bearman - thanks too for your info - I have a Dodge Dakota Four door and I think I will only be able to fit four bags with heads on. Looks like I will be ordering four FB Goose Bags. Thanks again for the quick response.

Any info on the size of the 6-slot snow and the new FBM decoy bags?

I did a search and could not find the deminsions on those two. I am trying to plan (read that daydreaming about) my trailer set-up and these details would be of great help.

Thanks,

Tupe

Mike, not sure you will get 4 in there with the heads on, that is a smaller bed than I have....I know you won't if you have any lookers....the lookers with heads on are about as wide as my full size bed. I have a cap on mine too, you might squeeze more in there w/o a cap.

I dont think you should have a problem getting four in the back of our Dakota! I have a Chevy ZR-2 which the bed is about the same size and I fit four bags in mine!! Two bags of feeders and bag of lookers and a bag of actives! It was tight but it worked out good!

Thanks Rick. Is the Snow/blue bag what is should be used for the lessers?

[Duster]

Tupe, I use the regular size 6-slot bag for my lessers and it works out great because you can fit a dozen lessers in them. I stack them belly to belly in the slots to save wear on the paint. Just a thought.

Bearman and Van Wey, thanks for your thoughts and ideas. I realize the lookers may make it a little tight - if I have to, they can ride in the backseat, although I have been using them without the footbases in some cases, so that might make 'em fit. I was hoping to use one bag for a dozen lessers, like Dusty suggested (6 feeders and 6 actives) and then make three "harvester packs" with three feeders, two actives and a looker in each bag. It's worth a shot.

[Duster]

Good luck!

[Travis Mueller]

Good luck Mike.

[tupe]

Thanks Duster. I'll give tha a shot. I like th idea of being able to get a dozen in one bag. It would make unloading easier for sure.

What about the full body mallards? If it works for the lessers would a doz. FBMs work? Or might they even fit in a snow/blue six slot?

Any thoughts and ideas are appreciated.

As a Mississippi boy now living up in the land of big geese this whole full body field spread thing is new to me. But it is nice that after more than a quarter century of chasing ducks and geese I get to keep learning new things.


Thanks for the help,

Tupe

00121-- is the above info for the new bag that is coming out or the old one? The other thread shows the dimensions of the slots at 10.5 X 15 X 17 and overall bag 35 X 27. If it is smaller will they still hold a dozen lessers or do I need to buy some bags now before the new ones come out? Thanks

[Jeremy Abbas]

Dalton, this should be the same bag. I took the measurements of mine while dekes were in it in the shop. You'll be fine, let us know how you come out. Good Luck.

[Rick Frisch]

00121 was introduced late last year. It will hold Life-Size Lesser, Speck, Snow, Blue, and Greylag full body goose decoys.

Thanks,
