Default Brand New to Forum..... FFD Snow Geese?

Hey everybody, I searched alot of forums before deciding to join this one.....seems like a good group on here!! I have started a decoy company producing full body canadas and snows, and was hoping to get some feed back on something we were looking into doing. I've noticed that nobody is producing a FFD Snow goose decoy, and was wanting to get some input on what you guys think. Is this something that anyone would be interested in, or do you feel that the up keep would be too demanding with the white flocking? Just for the record, I am not looking to use this forum for spamming..... just advice from the guys whose opinion matters most!! Thanks in advance for any opinions.

I am guessing FFD means full flocked decoy?

I thought so - but is why I asked - do you have pictures?

How do they work compared to just regular decoys?

I haven't actually produce any fully flocked snows yet. Not sure if there is gonna be a demand for them. That's why I'm lookin' for opinions. We just started production, and haven't started flocking any of our decoys yet. We are thinking that flocking seems to be what everyone wants these days, so that's what we'll give them. Here is a picture of some of our Canadian Feeders. Let me know what ya think. As far as how they work vs. other decoys, the flocking gives them a more lifelike appearance, and eliminates any glare from your decoys.

Now I helped you a bit - hope you don't mind.

While I have no flocked decoys I wish I did as yes they are far more realistic. U bet if one did snows it would look far more realistic. One thing tho I have never had the chance to hunt snows but have hunted canadian geese alot.

I think there would definitely be a demand for FFD snow goos dekes. I know that I would definitely buy some, and all the hunters I'm with have expressed interest
