Anyone need any decoys?
 
I have added a bunch of new decoys to my spread because Academy had them on sale for 50% off! Yahooooo........

Anyway, I have a dozen or two dekes that could use some TLC and touch up paint but float fine. I'm willing to give them away to a novice who's just starting out.

The person who gives me the best reason why they should get them can have em for free! I'll even pay the shipping.

#1 - im not much of a writer
#2 - im not real comfortable asking for free-bees but ill try by explaining my situation

Im 15 and started duck hunting on my own this year, i bought a double reed call and practiced all early fall with it, and bought a dozen flambeau mallards. With a little help from my dad(taking me to huntin place) I managed to kill one mallard this year. I still feel kind of weird trying to make myself sound...in need or whatever. Im sure there are people on here that need them more than i do and i do not want to take away something they deserve or need. -Darren

Give them to MOBH. Nothing like getting a young guy involved in duck hunting.

my hats off to you,, we need more people willing to help out people just getting started!

I just started duck hunting, I am 15, I just got a lab 5 months ago, I love to hunt birds-upland/waterfowl! I would like to at least know what to really look for. My dad doesn't really hunt waterfowl so I am kinda on my own here. I don't like to beg or ask for things but I could eat some big pieces of humble pie...

try going to cabelas.com, or basspro.com, and they have a set of 12 for around 25$. If your 15 like myself, that is less than days work in the summer.

RE: Anyone need any decoys?
 
Hey Tx....I could use the decoys. I don't have any of my own. I helped a couple of my friends build a blind in the Potomac this summer and it looked nice when we finished...then came Isabel and took her away. Since then they have rebuilt it.....They've been bugging me to get out there and hunt but I don't because, I've never Duck hunted before but I do want to get into it. Everyone says its addicting...Is that true? Well in anycase, If you can't use em, I sure can...and especailly if its really addicting.

RE: Anyone need any decoys?
 
Hey guy's.......

I'm sending Mossy a dozen dekes and I think I can put togather another dozen. I'll let ya'll decide who gets em.

Thanks.......

DoeCuller 01-30-2004 10:01 AM

RE: Anyone need any decoys?
 
My vote would be for buckmaster_88. He has a young dog and seems to be in need of dekes. I remember first starting out, I had six mallard decoys, a black lab and an ole single barrel 20 gauge. I needed all the help I could get. Good Luck young duck hunters.

jepcho 01-31-2004 10:19 PM

RE: Anyone need any decoys?
 
Yeah tx, this is what hunters are all about. It's good to see someone do something like this, especially this day in age. I agree with DoeCuller. Give the other dozen to buckmaster_88.

RE: Anyone need any decoys?
 
Oldup*

check to see if you have an Academy Sports and Outdoors near you. Here in Dallas, all dekes are 50% off. I purchased some mallard dekes for 15$ a box and teal for around 11$.

I also bought 100 texas rag snow goose decoys for 12$.

Buck*

I would love it. I used to own a cabin on Lake Wister. Had to sell it earlier last year when my wife was diagnosed with cancer. Hated to do it but we needed to free up the money. Kids private school, cancer treatment and loss of income from her will catch up with ya fast!

I loved chasing those whitetails with my bow and the ducks were plentifull.

Keep me posted, especially if the geese move in. I'm up for the drive!

RE: Anyone need any decoys?
 
Hey TX,
You are the man. I'm sure the young duck hunters are very appreciative of your giving.
Sorry to hear about that nasty disease cancer in your family. I know what it's like. Lost my father to that disease.

God Bless and Happy Hunting.

txbowjunkie 02-05-2004 07:59 AM

RE: Anyone need any decoys?
 
Thanks DoeCuller for the kind words.

Buck* theres a conservation order in effect until late March on light fronted geese. Increaded daily bag, can use electronic calls and no plugs in your gun......

drgildy 02-05-2004 09:53 AM

RE: Anyone need any decoys?
 
Hey Txbow, you said in your last post light fronted geese were open in the conservation order. Are you sure that it isn't just light geese? That is what the Conservation order is about up here, just light geese which are snow/blue and Ross geese. Ours is open now Feb 1 to May 15 but with a foot and a half of snow and everything frozen we don't look for them to return for at least a month yet. Well anyway good luck to you.
