Post dakota decoy
Any one have a problem with the flocking coming off. Just got some and had some flocking peel off after 1 hunt.

No issues at all. I've got 4 dozen of the extreme mallards and have used them for going on 3 seasons. No issues yet? I haven't even hosed the mud off from them from last season yet.

I emailed them and he asked me to send him a pick 2 min later so ill be happy if they send me new heads and I guess I just have to be more careful.

I use the slotted bags, and also put old socks over the heads to protect the flocking even more..

My Dakota mallards are going on 4 seasons. No issues.

I bought the fully flocked geese and they didn't make it out if the box. There was more flocking in the box then on the decoy.

The dakotas are an awesome looking decoy. I just dont think they sit on the water like a real duck. Something just looks off with them. Thats the only reason I didnt buy a couple dozen this year. Not bashing them just saying I dont think they sit on the water very natural looking.

All I gotta say is they have probably the best customer service I have ever worked with. 2 min or less on response time and he sent me some new heads free of charge. So I have 0 complaints.
