|
|
Fella's-
I have a doz Big foot bulls that I would like to put in slotted decoy bags. It seems because of the long neck they take a bit more abuse in the decoy trailer, and with their larger size they take up a bit mroe room. Does anyone know of a bag they would fit in with-out taking the base or heads off?

Make on of your own! It's not hard to do. This is what we did for my buddies FFD Lookers. Basically measure the height, make the bag about 6-8" taller. Measure the length.....chest to tail.... Make it about 12-14" wider.
The extra length will add to the feet, the added width will take for the width of the body.
Another thing you can do is use a black tube sock over the head.
Another...... Put the Bulls on the top of the pile! _________________ Jeff Bauler

I've been away from this for a while and wish I had said it the first time.....
Why would you need to bag them? My floaters bounce around in my boat all season. They get walked on, kicked and thrown out of the boat when I clean the boat. They haven't scratched up yet.
I'm sure the bulls are just as durable. _________________ Jeff Bauler

The bulls are not as durable... i bought a 4 pack when they first came out and the head attatchments are ok... but when they bounce around they will fall off... once they fall off a few times they will not stay on at all.... i am going to put mine away and replace them with GHG lookers...... I wish that bigfoot would stop trying to update and change things.... stick with what got you there... i do agree that when they came out with the new feeders.. that was a home run... but the bulls suck and the motion system sucks....

I have 1 dozen bulls and there head attachments are weak, I am not happy with the durability of the bulls vs. the originals. I am going to have to use liquid nail and glue the heads right to the body. If I wanted this kind of work I would have bought some ffd's. I dont know why they would make such a pinchy system for such a tall neck, you know there guna take a little more abuse in the trailer than the others. _________________ Team Shocker "Lock 'Em & Shock 'Em"

Black sheetrock screws. I did that on my GHG sleeper/rester floaters. Doesn't add weight and if you crack the head up, all you have to do is take the screw out. _________________ Jeff Bauler

I just want to say that the Bulls are the bomb. Love those decoys and am getting ready to order a second box. As a local PA Big Foot Rep I've had more interest in the bulls this year then anything else. I take care of my bulls and all my flocked head geese by putting socks on the head. Keeps the flocking from coming off and also gives me something to wipe them off with later on if they start to get dew on them. I load them first in my truck with their feet flat on the bed of the truck and their heads upright. I fill in around them but that keeps them from moving around and getting all scratched up. _________________ Grand C Calls and Big Foot Decoys... when you absolutley, postively want the BEST!
