When a hunter first looks at a Cabaw Decoy the question most often asked is, "How do your decoys work in strong winds?" The skeptics are more succinct. They say, "They won't work in our high winds."
The reason for the question is because the decoys are made of closed cell foam which makes them very light; one and a half ounces each. However, the decoy is designed to handle strong winds. To help you understand how this is done first look at pictures of single decoys.
In both of these pictures you will be able to see the decoy has turned into the wind. The front of the decoy digs into the oncoming waves and the wave continues rolling down each side of the decoy. By digging into the wave, the front of the decoy will be held down and the waves that pass around the edge of the decoy will stabilize it in the water. Multiple waves usually produce 5 points or more of contact from wave action which holds the decoy down, one in the front and two on each side.
The next time you are in mild winds watch your normal hard plastic decoys and you will notice they tend to bob up and down because they float up and over each wave. This will not happen with Cabaw Decoys. As the Cabaw Decoy digs into the water it will remain flat and not bob.
Instead of adding one floating plastic snow goose decoy to your spread you can now add up to 2 dozen Cabaw Decoys for the same weight and volume.
For those who anticipate shooting snow geese, then adding Cabaw Decoys to the spread is a good option.
