Are Lifelike Canada Goose Shell
Decoys From Higdon Right for You?
When Dale Cassady first got into waterfowl hunting he didn't know a mallard shell decoy from inflatable snow goose decoys. But he quickly learned that when snow goose hunting over decoys it's pretty much a numbers game. The more decoys the better.

But more than that it takes a realistic looking spread. Achieve that and you'll bring the geese (or ducks too) in closer. And the closer they get the better shot you become right? Higdon goose shell decoys help you get there. Since they give you realistic decoys that are easy to move as a nexted stack and yet are extremely durable too. |
When looking for decoys of this nature first note the feather detail. Is is realistic?
Does the coloration look natural?
Does light create an unnatural shine or glare off the dekes?
From your end you want to keep them clean. Caked on mud does not a convincing presentation make. Dulls the colors too.
Layout counts too. Typically the a hook or J-shaped pattern with your decoys will work best. With the crook or bend of the hook upwind of your blind. Stringing out the line of decoys then further out into the field.
TIP: Put one or two out at the longest distance you want to shoot. This gives you a point of reference to know if the birds are within easy shooting range or not.
A bit of chord lets you add a bit of legal movement too. Which can bring your spread to life whether you're working with Higdon goose shell decoys or another type.
