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

 Re: dakota decoy
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.

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

 Re: dakota decoy
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.

 Re: dakota 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.

 Re: dakota decoy
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.
