Need some clarification.....

[Ward McGee]

Guys,

Putting my order together for this fall and need a couple questions answered.

What is the breakdown on a harvester pack vs. a harvester active/feeder pack? Still 8/4 drakes to hens?

I've heard the snows will fit 2 to a slot in the 6 slot full body goose bags. Easily or do you have to jam 'em in there?

I'm not putting FFD's 2 to a slot, so for the FFD Lessers, would the ideal bag be the snow/blue 6 slot?

Thanks!

Ward,

According to the dealer sheet:
Mallard Full-body Harvester Pack (Multi-pack) 4 Actives,4 Feeders,2 Sleepers and 2 Resters, 6 Drakes/6 Hens
Mallard Full-body Harvester Pack (Feeders/Actives) 6 Actives, 6 Feeders, 8 Drakes/4 Hens

As far as the full-body decoy bags go, if you choose to use a Canada decoy bag, in general you can get 2 snows into most slots,depending on pose.
The lesser,snow,blue,speck bag is made specifically for these and will house 1 per slot.

I used a Canada bag last year with lessers and got 2 per slot in the bag no problem-belly to belly. There is some friction between decoys, it is up to you to decide if that is what you would like to do. On the snows, it may not be that large of a problem to have decoys rubbing.

On the FFD lessors, I would definitely go with the bag designed for them.

I know that you can get two snows into the canada slot-bag pretty easy. They both just slide in.

Good luck! :)

I put 12 lessers in the regular 6 slot canada goose bag last season. With the addition of the individual decoy bags, you will have choice of which bag you would like to use for the snows, lessers and specks, either the 6 slot snow goose bag or the regular 6 slot canada goose bag even on the FFD Lesser and Specks.

Thanks guys.
I'm going to go with the harvester active/feeder 12 packs w/12 slot bags.
As for the geese, I decided to go with 6 slot bags and the 2 per slot for the snows, and the smaller 6 slot bag for the FFD Lessers.

Thanks for the thought out answer Tim. Good luck Ward.

We did away with the Harvester Active/Feeder pack. It is very easy for a dealer to make their own combo with these. (One box of actives, one box of feeders, and a 12-slot decoy bag.) The other mallard Harvester pack is more difficult for a dealer to make-up, so we are keeping that one.

Thanks,

We hunted over the new FFD Lesser Full Bodies last season and we transported them in the Snow Fuil Body Bags. They fit with no problems and they stack very well in our trailer. You are going to go nuts when you see these new FFD Lessers in action. They move in the lightest breeze and the color scheme is dead on. Let us know how they work for you.

Good Hunting!
