For the past 6 years, I have bought dozens and dozens, upon dozens of GHG decoys. Never once, have I ever had the paint chip or flake or rub off of any of them until at least the fourth year of hard use, which is understandable. Never out of the box. So maybe people are too picky or something? Idk, but I recommend GHG decoys for every hunter out there. 3 thumbs up and 6 out of 5 stars for GHG.
These dekes looked great out of the box but two of the six had leaks (one filled up and rolled over after about an hour in the water). Also the paint is very delicate - after just one season of medium use, the paint is flaking off in spots. Great look and concept but needs to be built for everyday use.
Now i read the reviews for this item and was worried i would break a head or crack a body putting them on. I now know i have no idea how people had issues with these... it took me 5 minutes to put 4 heads on out of the 6 i got (two are fixed) they look great and i beat the CRUD out of my decoys and there isn't a single scratch on them. I have been hunting a good 20 times with them so far and all i have noticed is they scratch my custom paint jobs on my Bufflehead!
My recommendation? make sure they aren't a bad batch and don't go put them in the freezer if you haven't tried putting the head on already.
