What are your favorite decoys to use when you are goose and duck hunting?

I run all big Feet and real Geese in the field and over water I really don't care what I use. When I buy new blocks; I will get Big Foot Floaters for Geese and probably either Flambeau or Green Head Gear decoys for ducks. I would like to get some more full bodies for field hunting and they will be Big Foot. They might not look as cool as the other ones; but they take a beating.

GHG full body goose decoys mostly with a few dozen Higdons and Hardcores mixed in. Also GHG and Hardcore full body duck decoys for the field, they are like duck magnets. As for the water, Herters burlaps and Quack Decoy Co. ducks. Just blacks and mallards, they seem to get 'em close and require little care in handling. And a 2 Mojo's thrown in for that extra bit of convincing.

I just sold all of my GHG fullbodies considering bigfoots or FA's for geese on the water I have quite a mixture BPS,GHG,and bigfoot. The different sizes give a really good natural look in the early season and family group them.

For ducks I hunt a lot of divers so my diver rig is mostly hertrs because they take a beating from shot and current when I am hunting the river. I use GHGs for my puddle ducks.

As far as spinners puddle ducks I use wind ducks because in PA motorized spinners are illegal. For divers I use a ureduck wind powered spinner and they are extremely deadly on bills and goldeneyes.

For goose floatersI currently use Flambeau Super Magnum Pontoon Perimeter Floaters, I am thinking very seriously about switching to the FA floaters. I am definately goingto a combination spread of FA and Big Flock Silos for field hunting this coming year. Going to try to hunt more fields this year than in the past.

Sounds like Spence has way too much money, with his DSD goose decoys and E. Allen duck decoys! :lol: . Good decoys, but who wants to pay that much? We use Bigfoot fullbodies, a few Higdon full bodies, Flambeau super mag shells, G&H shells, Carrylite floaters, and a some flambeau floaters. For ducks, I mainly like the GHG lifesize mallards, mix in some GHG lifesize shovelers, we use some flambeau water keels for easy packing into some of the deeper cover on some of the creeks and rivers. We use 1 or 2 mojo's just depending. On average we set out about 2-5 doz. goose decoys, and 1-4 doz. duck decoys, depending on where we're hunting.
