mostly puddlers and geese, i have goose decoys for land already but no duck or goose floaters. most of the water is fairly shallow, most of it is shallow enough to walk in but you would need atleast waist high waters for it, i have an old hunting boat that needs work but until them im walkin and as far as teh budget i want the bare esentials for the best price, i dont know if i need themost expensivedecoys out there or if just having decoys on the water is good enough.
