Good to see that someone is going to take over GHG because I think their products need to be on the market. I have been impressed with their designs and innovations lately. Banded made a wise decision to invest in one of the most well know companies in the waterfowl industry!

Good thing I got extra heads. I'm sure they will stop making them. I see good and bad about this. Inventory might be one the shelf more consistently but the price is going to go up.

Right on the cost going up. Everytime I see an ad or a catalog, I cringe. My entire goose spread now consists of 6 full bodies, haha. I remember killing birds plenty dead with 50.00 a dozen shell decoys. Seems like now you have to have 15 dozen full bodies, maybe a few dozen silhouettes, ground blinds, trailer, etc.... every band you ever shot around yer neck along with a grand in calls, camo paint yer face like a Samoan warrior and everytime you shoot something do your best imitation of an NBA player celebrating a dunk as if he was the first guy to ever do it. Rant over.... lol

Hahaaah i sooo miss it and I sooo dont at the same time! Just happy as hellllll i enjoyed the absolute glory days before it got so effing ridiculous at the end (sleeping in vehicles, 5 groups had permission to the same field, seeing headlights in the field you had permission to at 430 am which didnt happen often but a couple times was A LOT, etc.) Definitely the best and most exciting/consistent; in your face hunting there is though nonetheless..
Find myself waffling and waffling whether to hang on for the kids or rid myself of it all but here goes:

tandem axle 6x12 enclosed black trailer (barn doors, side door with 3 heavy duty master locks), mix of approx 130 FB ghg' and bigfoots, all ghg's in fb avery bags, 4-5 dozen fb mallard ghg's all in 12 slot fb bags along with prob 30-40 flambeau fullbody enticers as well. 3-4 lucky ducks with sturdy ass stakes. 5-7 blinds (ground forces, final approach). Just dont mind the blood-stains on anything!
On top of that im sure we have 20 dozen mallard floaters, 40-50 canada shells, 12-18 ghg sleepers, and around 50 bigfoot snows and blues to get rid of. (Tons and tons of high-end duck/goose calls as well!)
Feel free to put this in the classifieds VOL if you would/choose, too damn lazy at the moment...
