If you can't tell by my shed, then my photo must be bad. Those are GHG!! Redheads, Canvasbacks, Ringnecks, Pintail, Wigeon, Shovelers, Mallards, Buffs, and Goldeneyes!! Since they opened the goose season here once again, I expect that empty space in the front to be filled with Full Body Honkers and Lessers in the not too distant future!!!

Ross R---Yeah, I painted the Harli's. They were some of my old G&H Bluebills prior to the paint job. They work pretty well too. I've taken 9 Harli's over them so far! We are only allowed one a year now, so we don't actually hunt them anymore.

You can never have enough sheds, or decoys for that matter. Nice collection!

WOW thats alot of decoys, i thought i had too many i dont have anything on you. I dunno if you can fit anymore goose decoys in that shed, much less any more decoys at all. congrats on the decoy spread though its massive; shouldnt need many more than that to shoot some ducks this year.

And my dad has a fit about the maybe 3 dozen I have in the garage. I need to show him this picture. I'd like to see that spread on the water all at one time.

It looks like the divers are in trouble this year. Thanks for the support of the company. Make sure that you post some pictures of that spread on the water this season. I know a lot of people would want to see that spread.

You have quite a collection! I imagine that your success will be great with a rig like that!

We hunt the bays in the early season, mainly for the Wigeon. We use an average of 6-8 dozen GHG Wigeon along with a few Pins mixed in and do quite well. This time of year they are all rafted up in the center of the bay. 5-6,000 birds, so a big spread in the right spot works wonders. Scary part about the photo is that I used to have at least 100 more duck decoys and a ton of goose decoys, but I thinned them out and have been gragualy switching completely over to GHG. I do still have 36 G&H Honker Floaters under the bench in the photo and a few other decoys scattered about. Worse yet, my hunting partner has at least twice what I got!!!!

I am with you man. This looks just like our storage container on the farm. There is not a more realistic line of decoys on the market today. It does not matter if you are talking about divers, puddle ducks or goose decoys, the Greenhead Gear line is head and shoulders above anything else out there. Please keep us updated on your results this coming season.

Good Hunting!

wait wait wait WAIT. You have 43 dozen duck decoys? give or a take a few? I didn't count the rages and silos.

That is amazing, you ever hunt them all at the same time?
Cryfowl

No, we have never hunted them all at once. I also forgot to list the 2 dz flambeau Cans I have. Like I said, if you think I have a big spread, you should see my hunting partners. On top of the decoys, I have a 18' G3 boat with an Avery pop up blind, a 9' Jon Boat, a 13' sneak boat, a Pumpkin Seed Layout Boat, and a Camo float tube. It's not just a Hobby, it's a lifestyle!!!!
