Just picked my first dozen of what is soon to be a much larger collection of GHG dekes. ever since i first saw these at the Oregon Waterfowl Festival, i knew that these were the dekes that i would be hunting over for years to come.
then it got better. i found out how affordable, dare i say "cheap", that these decoys were when compared to other high end products on the market today. yet i hear people complaining all the time about bad paint. "chips off easy.", they say. well i say, "so what." think about this for a moment. first, the paint problem, if i understand this corectly, has been indentified, a solution found, and the offer to replace the faulty product extended to the public. which, i might add, has been used by people with legit complaints and just people looking to horn in on some fresh dekes. yes, you know who you are. second, compare these dekes with anything else out there that you can buy for 39 bucks a dozen. only one thing comes to my mind. Flambeau standard size water keels for 30 bucks a dozen. i don't think i need to comment on what you get when you buy a dzn cheap Flams. so here is the deal. buy your dekes, go hunting, and quit yer bitchin. in a couple of years when they start looking a little "old" from riding around in the sack, then do what i will do..go buy some more with the knowledge that you are getting one hell of a product for one hell of a price.

Hey Big dog your going to paint your flammys into blue bills? What paint kit are you using for this? Do you have to do anything like scrape the paint off before you repaint them into bluebills? I would be interested in doing that to my old flambeas! Thanks

007 did more work than I did!!
I cleaned em w/soap and water ruoughed em up a little took krylon camo blk painted the whole decoy let dry took ultra flat white painted the middle, let dry held the blk can about 2ft away and "peppered" the back let dry took battle ship grey and painted the bill, bought yellow craft paint for the eye let the bill and eye dry colored in the nostril on the bill and put a black dot on the eye, you can seal it w/ krylon 1311 matte finish clear coat. I plan on 2dz GHG's in the Big water bag next year! so longitivity doesn't matter and heck paint is 2.oo can if I can't get the GHG's by next season

Well since I cant go hunting tomorrow, I may as well do that. I have about 30-40 old mallards I can do this on. I will probably start with the old ones first and wait on the ones that I just got this last summer for a gift. Thanks for the info. fellas.
