Hey boys, I am planning on purchasing at least 16 new BF's feeders as soon as Scheels or someone gets them in a few weeks. Just curious is anyone has ever made motions systems for them? I know all about the decoy dancers and power bases, just too much $$$ for me to spend. Do you killin' machines out there think that I could just take the feet off and drill a hole big enough for the GHG motion stakes to go into and but them on those? Any other suggestions would be nice. May just have to look into buying a few decoy dancers, even though I really don't want to? Would they be worth it?

Mill- The proseries cone system that GHG uses is going to be available here in a couple of weeks. Something like $45 bucks gets you 24 cones to screw inside of the decoy, and 24 of the actual stakes with the white L thing on top...a lot like the full body mallards movement system, but bigger. There are some guys on the avery site that have used these in their big foots already and sware by them. I dunno if those motion stakes that you use for those shells are strong enough to have the weight of a big foot on them and still move alright.

Really that would be good. Maybe me and Derick will split a 24 pack of them, because i think he is gonna get 16 feeders too.

only thing is mill that i think you have to cut a hole in the actual decoy so like the foot base wouldnt be able to go back on, but they will move really well...we are gonna do it will all ours except the lookers, nice thing is that there is already the hole so we jus put the cone in and still can use the foot bases if its really windy or something like that.
