I am thinking about investing in some GHG prograde Widgeon/Mallard decoys. I am sure most of you have seen them before, if not here is a link

I was wondering if anyone has used these decoys or anything else that might look this realistic and what difference did they make. They look so lifelike, I can' imagine them not making a huge difference. I thinkg I am going to get rid of the rest of my decoys and switch to about 18 of these.

What have you guys seen or heard about how they work?

i have the pro grade woodies and gwt. they look amazing out of the box. the paint on my woodies is already starting to chip off, but nothing drastic. I think they are well worth the price, because they dont really cost much more than the regular grade GHG.

I have been hunting with them this year, don't know if they have really made a difference, but I sure do like the way they look!

I killed alot of ducks over cheapo Flambeau deeks, but I really like having the nicer ones.

Decoy's and Camo are designed to appeal to the hunter, not what you hunt

I say buy them, because I would be intersted in purchasing your old ones!

I have the widgeon and GWT. Haven't used them yet. Plan on getting the mallards and BWT as well. I have some custom decoys in some of the same positions and now I can use the plastic ones instead.

Ive got the mallards and green wings, the paint has chipped some, but thats expected with as much as I hunt. Kinda like getting a few scratches on a work truck.

I really like the pro grades, and Ive got the widgeon and woodies on my Christmas list.

get them they are amazing decoys the widgeons look like they will fly away

Yeah, the Widgeon have me very excited. They have 3 different kinds of mallards though, active, resting and feeding. Each different type of mallard has different poses.

I wish they would sell a whole dozen that was mixed instead of forcing you to buy 18 to get all types. I really don't want more than about a half dozen mallard, but dont want to have all of one kind

I got the surface feeders and the active mallards, they are nice.

If I wanted resters I would just get some hotbuys.

I'm going feeders as well.

I have the widgeon and teal. They look great!

I got the GHG surface feeders and man those things are NICE!!!

They look awesome out of the box, but throw them in the water and man they look good.

I bought the teal feeder pack from Mack's, they are nice, ended up with a dozen Woodies, 2 dozen of the Green Wing Teal, and a dozen of the Widgeon. I must admit they are great looking dekes and hard to beat for the money. They have been on 30+ hunts between me and the group and still look new. I use slotted bags, because I very seldom carry more than a dozen, usually 6 is about all I put out.
