Did you ever consider adding hens to the diver packages, or at least back off the white a little bit? the decoys look nice, but when you see them out on t water, and compare them to a raft of bluebills, the live ones have very little white compared to the decoys....

Out here the white is what brings the birds close enough to shoot at. A little Krylon fusion brown paint could help you blot out white if you wanted. But, I always thought that if the birds were close enough to count how many hens were with the boys, they'd be dead!!

A number of us have been lobbying for hens and consistent sizing of the diver species for three or four years now. The priority has been the pro-grade puddler series which represents an enormous amount of work, particularly for a company the size of Avery. Now that the pro-grades are released, I hope they will get around to it. In the meantime, Cabelas real Image Bluebills (pro-grade type made for them by Avery) are a great start if you like Oversize. I can't wait to set out a complete Avery spread of 750 divers. That will only happen when they offer hens in the species of interest.

;)Need to offer hens and some diffrent posses like sleepers. The cookie cutter look and all white don't work as well as it once did...
