The O/S Canada Floaters will retail around 99.99 and the L/S Canada Floaters will retail for around 79.99. They are both awesome decoys but if you are trying to save room in the boat and save some money the L/S would be your choice. If you want a decoy the geese will see from great distances go with the O/S.

Wayne is right. They are both great decoys, but there is quite a bit of difference in size. For most people, space in a boat and space in decoy bags is a big deal. For those reasons the L/S will be the go to decoy for many this fall.

For saving space the L/S would be the Key. The O/S would be nice for farther distances. You could also mix the two for different sizes in your spread.

rr,



I am going to mix my existing O.S. Floaters with the new L.S. Floaters. I like having size variations in my decoy spreads, both geese and ducks.

river- I am mixing mine when I hunt from a boat, but using the lifesize only, when I am backpacking in. The OS floaters sit in the water great, and I like the size, but the LS are going to be so much easier to hike in with.

Thanks for the pic comparrision. that was a great help in choosing. Do most retailers have the life size floaters in stock? The sportsmans wharehouse here seems to only have the over size. We use a boat to get to where we hunt the canadas but with 3 oversize floaters and 6 full bodies and duck decoys the boat gets full quick. So lifesize may be the addition to my spread. Gotta get em soon money burning a hole in the old pocket. And got a list of things I wanna get Goose floaters first.
