The Good Golly Series was designed for the ultimate in
Big Waterfowl attraction.
For years there has been designs of decoys that looked like geese gliding into the decoys.
Most of these are in forms of kites or air bags.
They seem to work well enough for geese and swans to respond. The Problem was they didn't look real enough. In search of the better
looking and working kite,
Ure-a-Duck Decoy designers could not find one that simulated a Goose locking up and coming into the
decoys without excess motion or not enough motion. They also wanted one that looked good enough to truly represent a real
goose or even convince the hunters that they did.
There wasn't one to be found. The hunters also asked about a goose with motion. Well we did find a flapping goose that sat on the
ground but nothing that sits high profile in the air. They want flapping wings. Well,
The last time I watched geese or swans come in to live decoys they didn't flap like ducks, they glided in. The motion needed to
be gradual and represent a gliding motion with changes of wing pitch. So The Good Golly Goose was born.
This Decoy is vinyl coating base with acrylic life like painting and filled with a high density urethane foam.
That makes it strong and lightweight. The Good Golly series is a true life size decoy. The patent pending wing design
is what makes it the most universal real looking gliding decoy on the market. The wings are a durable tyvek style cloth covering
a spring steel wire frame. The wings are in a slight cupped position once clipped at the breast (See How to).
Each wing tip has monofilament line attached crossing at the breast of the bird thru an eye and then clipped to a swivel.
This is how the Good Golly Goose becomes the deadly motion decoy. By pulling the string back and forth, the wings will move
up and down. You can even make them flap, but a slight change in the cupping motion is all that is needed. Surprising to watch
in the wind, a good wind will add a lot of natural motion to the wings. The wire frame has enough natural give to make the bird
have a natural movement when the wind blows. We have seen it fool the wisest of resident Canadas and migrators have no chance.
