Central South Outfitters believe having the best decoys on the market is what makes a good hunt a great hunt. We run full body and floater Goose and Duck decoys and Parry (Paradise Shelduck) Silhouette's. We believe in quality over quantity - Here in New Zealand we aren't trafficking birds, we don't need to run anymore than 3-4 DOZ decoys at a time because we simply don't need to.
Central South Outfitters run the best calls on the New Zealand market, RM and JJ Lares Duck call's and Season Calls For Geese.
