Guys, What would you think of a '' Fred Zink Signature Series'' of fullbodies in appreciation for all of Freddie's innovations, accomplishments hard work and devotion to Avery/GHG and the sport of goose hunting?

Maybe with a collared Goose with the Avery/GHG logo on it with Fred's Signature?

Any thoughts?

I think that would be nice, something in a special pose. Possibly each year add a new pose to the series. Or maybe a pair with a new pair offered each year. I know I would love a stretching goose.

SOLD!!! I like the idea....JJ hit it on the head...a stretching goose would be a sweet addition as well as a collared bird as suggested by JEDJR.

But, since it would be Freddie's series....I am SURE he would come up with something better than just about anything we could come up!!!

I think they would sell quite well...three reasons - Fred Zink's name on it, made by AVERY / GHG, and it would be a different pose than what is offered in the 6 packs.

That sounds great. I'd love to see a new pair with diff. poses each year. I know I'd buy some, and I know they'd look awesome.

Guys,

We have talked about this at several times over the last year. We have even talked about what body positions. Fred is pretty modest about his accomplishments. He said doesn't need the notoriety. I think this is something we need to do. We just need to convince him.

Thanks,

I know one retailer that is begging to have Freddie come out with them.

Thanks,
Rick, I agree, The biggest part will be convincing him. Fred is modest when it comes to his accomplishments in this industry and to achieve so much in such a short time.
He puts 110% into everything he does, so the entire line of GHG decoys for that matter could be a signature series .
I have said it before that I dont know anyone who has waterfowling in their blood like Fred Zink. It was just something he was meant to do. Between Avery and Zink calls, 24/7 describes Fred best.
Maybe with Tom's help, We can get him convienced to do it.
Modest or not, He's earned it!

Yeah on a ''Looker'' pose, but on any other decoy position with the realmotion base, It would slide right off the peg leg...
