Does anyone use realgeese decoys? If so why or why not?

When we use them we put them tight to the blinds to help break up the sihlouettes of the blinds. We also would put them off to the side of the main spread in a small group and use them as fillers.

First post in the Q&A....

I don't use them but have heard nothing but good things about them. When I buy my goose spread it will be real geese and maybe a doz. FB. Sorry I couldn't be more of a help.

Well I just switched over to them after an all shell and fullbody spread. I just am trying to see who has heard them and if any one uses them.

I have half a dozen feeders that I use around the ground blinds, I think there awesome they have no glare at all to them. Easy to set up and take down, I recommend them over any other silhouette. Also I do use dozen and a half shells plus a full dozen full bodies along with 8 field mallards mixed in.

Three reasons: They look great. Make an easy portable spread. Birds like 'em.

Don't have any real geese. I have hunted over Outlaws and they work great. Especially if you are walking in or want a big spread for not alot of cash. I would go with Real Geese have had nothing but luck when I hunted over Sillys.
