These last couple of posts about full body dekes got me thinkin about my x-mas present from the wife. I am lookin at GHG FFD Lessers with bag for $169 or the GHG Hunter Series with no bag for $159. Any opinions????? Will the FFDs loose their "flockyness" worse than the regular ones loosing their paint? Also, what are the pros and cons of the Lessers? What do you all think?

Fully flocked is overrated imo, if they are close enough to tell that they should be dead

Lessers..

pros, cheaper and easier to pack
cons, not AS visible from a distance

:cheers:

Thanks Reb....I should also mention these will be my first full bodies

 

[Rebel2]

I myself like lessers for the packing reason.

Id rather have bf's but when space is limited lessers it is

:cheers:

Or at least gettin shot at :rof2:

Flocked or not, I have no real strong feelings about. A good bag will go along ways in keeping your decoys looking good though

Amen to that!
Cabelas is selling the 07' model for $99 and just trying to clear out their inventory. The paint is different colored, not as durable, and the bases on the 07's have had problems. Dakotas are always first on my list

Fully flocked is not needed on full bodies!!! We have 9 dozen that gets bagged very carefully every time. The flocking wears off when we put them in and take them out of the bags.

There are 3 decoys on the market that you dont have to worry about the paint chipping off. From bagging or transporting.

1. Dakotas
2. Higdons
3. Big Foots
