'Got an e-mail 'decoy sale' notification from MPW this morning.

I fully expected to see a bunch of GHG decoys listed. But instead, it was a 4-pack of Hardcore Full-body honker decoys for $180 plus $12 oversized package delivery fee. So that's like $48.00 apiece.

Well, that's their regular price, but you get free shipping right now.

I thought it comical that 'other items you might be interested in' were:
  • Mojo replacement motor
  • PMC bronze FMJ .223 cartridges
So, I guess this might appeal to the guy with more money than sense......that has tried everything but more-expensive decoys and a centerfire rifle for wary honkers. :mrgreen:

I kinda hate Mack's got stuck with these decoys, but I suspect they had to buy a certain amount of these to get the rest of the Hardcore package. 'Not too broken-up about HC taking a negative publicity hit.......once you get above $30 per decoy, it better be like Dave Smith customs.....or something of a better quality than what everybody else makes in the $30 range.

DUH!! :?

Remember the catchy slogan they introduced in the 'new gear' sections of sporting magazines from July 2012?..........http://www.ducksouth.com/phpbb/viewtopi ... 4&t=104855 :wink:

"Hardcore - - - It's not easy" :shock:

I am keeping an eye out for decoy sales--Mack's does better on shipping than most. I'm looking for cheap duck decoys, and if you can get GHG hot buys down around 4 bucks or less, then you can run some big spreads at pretty low cost. Mack's sometimes gets me with their morning e-mail, and I buy something I don't need.

48 bucks for a goose decoy? Maybe their motto is correct? "It ain't easy...making enough money to buy 'em!"

You just can't make this up.

Thanks for posting the "quick sale" items. By the time I checked the email, it said "sorry, you missed it"

I replied and said "It's not easy!", just for you.


I take it you didn't buy the double man cave?

Sharing a layout blind.. Its not easy.

:lol:

BTW - The double Man Cave has been renamed (or Banded picked-up on the negative implications) - it's now 'The Apprentice'.

......and yet another 'sale' or overstock item..........

What did I tell y'all when this hit the market?........something like "going to be a lot of 'man cards' pulled this season if folks buy the Banded 'Gun Stick'.........? :mrgreen:

You can still have your man card revoked for a savings of 29% off regular price for the Gun Stick.

I tried to think of alternative uses for this thang......nothing worth $30 comes to mind.

Among other items "you might be interested in"......their Marsh Seat.....AND.......a Heavy Hauler key chain.

I love free enterprise.......especially when the general public says no to bull$#!+.

Is having a marsh seat taboo or something?

No. Just pointing-out some products (& marketing) that the public obviously didn't 'buy' into.

The 'Gun Stick' seems sissy-fied to me though.

Travis and I liked the one they had several years ago (like 2006) that had (in addition to all the pockets) little retractable lines that you could hook stuff to and carry-in. They were like spring-loaded fishing yoyo's.

I could invision walking-in to your spot with your thermos hooked to one and everytime you took a step the thermos would drop-down a little - then come-up and smack you in the chin. :shock:

Those guys seem to believe in them - and if they're able to keep a straight face during that promo........more power to'em.

I HAVE often thought what alternative there is to your calls ending-up behind your ears while lying on your back in a ground blind......maybe this is 'it'. :mrgreen:
