Anybody have an opinion on Flambeau's Storm Front Goose decoys? I have a chance to purchase some today for $157 with 40% off that, so lookin at right at $100. It's a 4 pack with a choice of lookers or resters; fully flocked heads and the motion stakes. I can find the floaters online for about $100 flat plus $25 S&H so I'm wonering if these are a little pricey. Thoughts? Here's a link to what they would look like...

These decoys will require special handling and when your in the elements there is no such thing as special handling.

Some o my first decoys were flambeau's,, but I bought them back then because they were cheap and I could get numbers rather quick and cheap!! The pics you posted links to look real good,, I especially like the honking bird!! Nice detail!! The flocked heads will require extra care,, but I would say its needed,, as the better the decoy looks,, the more your chances increase! Flambeau always meant cheap to me,, but times are changing and in the pics those look nice,, but I have not seen those in person! My self I like bigfoots,, but I have not bought any new dekes in 5 years!! That's my 2 cents for what its worth!!

I hear what you're sayin about the elements. I figured for $100 I'd give them a shot at least. Flambeau has improved somewhat with their quality. I'll let you all know how they work after tomorrow morning!

Tell me what flocked means on a decoy. I'm going to get some decoys someday.
