Tom ,are you and Fred working on any fullbody decoys? If not please consider it. The shells look awesome, but fullbodies would be TOTALLY DEADLY!!

JEDJR,

There's no telling what Fred is doing, but I can only tell you we don't have a full body now. Since hunting season is on, and Fred thinks he is a PH (professional hunter), I'm not sure when he would ever carve one. Maybe 2004? I sure do wish we could get Fred to tell us what he's doing about a full body...

Man...that is a neat look into a bit of history. If you had any question about what's been done and how well it's been done in a short period of time, you need only to read this thread!

I believe Jed has been banned from the site. He is pro-staff for another decoy company. Scott, give me a call sometime. Been trying to reach you for a while now.

Thanks

It is truly amazing to see where Avery and Greenhead Gear have taken this industry. People can say what they want but Avery has truly revolutionized the way we buy waterfowling products and decoys. The funny thing is that we are just getting started. Every year brings something new to the table and with each response, the products just keep getting better and better. I am so excited about the future and the plans that Avery has, I can barely sit still. We are all very lucky to be witnessing this.

Good Hunting!

These guys just keep blowing our minds every year with new inovations in products and decoys.
Way to go Avery and GHG.

No Jed has not been banned.

You see guys, this is exactly how stupid rumors get started. Why would you say you "think" he has been banned? Do you not know? The word "banned" is very serious, and it happens about once a year on this forum. Jed decided to stop posting here for some reason known only to him, and then he made a very dramatic and unnecessary "farewell post" which was promptly deleted because it was odd to say the least and would have caused a steady stream of negative posts (which might or might not have been Jed's intention in the first place).

To repeat, Jed has not been banned from the Avery message boards and to state this is ridiculous. Jed knows he is welcome here any time he wants to join in, and I know he knows it because I e-mailed him and told him so.

Rest assured that Jed is reading this post, and he should feel free to jump in any time and tell everyone why he stop posting. Not going to happen....

My info from Jed must have come before you e-mailed him. I never read his "farewell post". Glad to hear he is not banned. I have been wrapped up with house repairs from hurricane Rita and have not spoken with Jed for a few weeks now.

I'm sure this topic will come up when Jed & I speak again,
