I don't have any DB decoys....but I've hunted over thousands of them and nobody was complaining....and they keep buying more, so there's that.

I've met the DB guys through another buddy that doesn't waterfowl hunt unless I take him (and I never take him anymore).....they like to kill geese, so they're suspect. :l :l

I don't understand the hatred toward them. Maybe I just don't pay enough attention, or maybe they're doing too well so it is good and right to hate them. They're just selling decoys. :scratch

Some guys like fords and some like chevys. I think the thing that runs most people wrong when it comes to divebomb is their videos of ten plus guys blasting away at eighty yards to kill a handful of birds and then hoopin and hollering Belding style about it. They kill birds okay, but personally I’m gonna keep givin Al my money. I’m not a fowl of any kind, but to me the divebomb mallards and canadas look kinda cartoonish. There’s prolly no difference from thirty yards to a goose, but there is to me mentally. And, customer service is big to me. Al has been super good to me any time I’ve reached out and been prompt in doing so. Divebomb doesn’t need my “piddly poo” ten dozen order every other year or so when you’ve got guys buying em 100 dozen plus at a time. Maybe Al does, maybe he doesn’t. But I have a hard time giving my money to them big companies compared to hard working blue collar guys. Same with Stump. John Stephens doesn’t need my $150. I can’t mimic a bird any better on one of his than I can on an RM. So stump will continue to get mine as well. Some drive Fords, some drive Chevys

I suppose that's right....never see one of their videos.

I bet he's laughing all the way to the bank, with all this free advertisement, over 12,000 views on this thread alone.

To be fair looks like most people on this forum dont like criticism either. Must be an ego thing.

DiveBomb deleting criticism on their own web site???

Say it ain't so Joe.:l:dv:joker

A year or so ago, DiveBomb bought 180 acres in the same bottoms my club hunts. Before they bought it , I had hunted it a couple of times with the old owners.
Nice place but not anything to brag about really.
They over paid for it but it appears they can afford it.

Notice there aren't any duck hunting videos from their "home base".........probably because there hasn't been any big numbers.
Peak number of ducks on the WMA adjacent to them......8,500.......on 4400 acres and most of them were miles from their location.
They did have a good snow goose hunt and they posted a video of it if anyone is interested.
Their videos?????
I am not a fan but I doubt they lose any sleep on it.

They are in the business to sell decoys and other waterfowl stuff.....big rain outs and piles and hooting and hollering sell product.......hate the game......not the player.

Heard the number or ducks they 'claim' to have killed this season and I immediately told the fella that told me to take it with a very generous pinch of salt....but they are like every other duck hunter when it comes to 'body counts'.....if it makes'em feel good, no skin off my posterior......but there isn't any video to say one way or the other.....but I hunt within ear shot....and....well....we will leave it at that

The head DiveBomb guy has been buying ground like crazy.
Gonna be a "farmer".
Guess they write part of it off as a 'testing site'.
If they improve the hunting in that area.....more power to them

Here are a couple of pictures of their big dry field snow goose set on 200 acres adjacent to the nearby WMA.
They had big boy equipment digging the pit.

Obviously, they believe in ....go big or go home.
It is a sight to behold.

i asked once where the decoys were made and they were pretty sensitive. just a basic question since they are just cardboard. got pretty snippy with China just like everyone else...little do they know. the layout chair is the only thing i would buy from them..

Along with Real Geese. Their new eclipse series is awesome and in the same price point as the Chinese garbage.
