Today i was on Bass Pro Shops Web page . I was looking at Bigfoot goose decoys , they had Bull , Standard , Feeders i believe ( they are in a set of 4 ) . I was thinking on buying 2 sets of each ( not at once ) which would equal 24 decoys . should i get 2 of each ( they are for the ground not water ) ? so that would equal 8 Bulls , 8 Standards and 8 Feeders . any help would be appreciated .

Doesn't really matter but I've always been biased towards feeders so I would go heavy there and get 1 set of either bull or standard. If it were my money I'd pass on the foots and go with real geese silos. |

But foots are hard to beat when it comes to fb.

Unless your one of them wanna be PRO guys that has a signature line bigger than your post,, then you can go with good ol' DSD's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I always love the fellars that have those kinda signatures!!
I probably should be more pacific,, DSD stands for Dave Smith Decoys. They run from 600-1200 per dozen!! They sure do look sweet,, but man I would hate to even take them outside for that price!!!

Right on average jeff!! I use bigfoots myself and would not give them up for nuttin!! In my opinion, which taint worth much,, they are your best bang for your buck. They can take a lickin and keep on tickin!!!As long as you take reasonable care of them,, they will last for a while!!

I just started working last oct 2012 , from a 2 year layoff and took a $8.00 an hour pay cut ( 19.00 down to 11.00 ) , so money is on a budget . so i need to buy stuff a little at a time . so if i save up $600 that will give me enough for 12 decoys . plus the 3 that i already have will give me 15 decoys .

Moss, if I had some, I'd sure let you use them. I need some. My brother-in-law says he has 8 dozen. I'll try to buy a dozen from him.

I'd buy used foots. But yes you can mix your spread. Don't forget shells. Lots of birds have died due to spreads of shell decoys. I have switched from fb to silos but keep 12 foots to cover the blinds better. I picked up 10 doz real geese for 400. Let me tell you that creats a very realistic spread fast and i can carry most by myself in 1 trip
