I will try your pic later Jim...I am questioning whether our dial-up connection may be carried by pony express...what a joke. I did get the top half, and it sure looks like you hunt some beautiful country. I would guess many a folk thinks the waterfowlin' is bound to stink in Las Vegas if they have never been outside the casino doors.

So those thing really do slide pretty decent on land? I' ve seen them before when using ' the office' while thumbing through my work material (lol), and wondered if they worked as well as they seem to in the pic/description.

The area I hunt is probably 500 yards of land/old road, then knee deep marsh with midiocre cover. So it sounds like one of those may fit the bill.

I would MUCH rather keep the decoys I have and use them as opposed to selling/buing the FUDS. Heck, I actually have some of them on ebay right now, trying to sell them locally if possible. Maybe I will pull the plug on them.

I' ve heard pretty good things about the FUDS for the most part. I think they would fool many a early season bird, but I am curious about those weary late season ducks? I' ve never actually seen one close up, do they look authentic at 20 yards...or authentic enough to fool a seasoned ol' mallard?

Thanks for the input.
