im looking at getting some decoys of my own so i can quit using the old mans. i was wondering what brands yall use and the pros and cons.
Thanks

I have heard that mother nature's are the best, but they require a lot of work in the off season.

GHG looks great, but they don't hold up well at all.
G&H cost more but last pretty much forever.
Never really liked Flambeau

Starting to really like the FA Brand
and think Im going to give Dakota Decoys a try next year.

G&H are nice. Might as well dish out the extra cash on something you will have for awhile instead of having to replace them in a couple years. Just my 2 cents though.

I like my GHG and after 5-6 years they look like they did when I bought them. I do use slot bags though. The FAs look nice.

Theyre all a phuckin ripoff!!!

I get da cheapest kind cause you allways loosin sum and sum dumbass allways shoots sum. I like da weighted keels cause dey set out easier but I keep one sack of unweighted for carryin in da woods for dem holes you gotta walk to.

We use Big Foot duck and goose, look good and hold up pretty well.

G&H or Herters here.

Although I do have 2 doz FullCurl seconds that I'm gonna repaint.

Before you ask, we use slotted decoy bags!!!

i like thet carry lite brand they r weighted and hold up

Use the GHGs got some hot buy and pro grades and all in between. seem to last. paints a lil sketchy as far as durabilaty is concerned but like Shafer said.. if ya got movement and ur hidden youl be good

Best decoys are the foam mallards I made this year. Stumpy didn't like them. But Stumpy ain't a duck and the ducks love em. We've been hunting all over and shooting birds in areas where there aren't birds. Rivers, tidal, lakes. Had geese trying to run my decoys out of a slough the other mornign before legal.

luv ma carrylites.. kinda sh!tty to throw out but def. easier on da back

i use the GHG and love them. hard to beat the realistic look of those gadwall, pintail, and widgeon. the FA look good too, def would like to try some of them out

I like the GHG also, but I think that they have QC issues. I bought a bunch this year and my brother has been using them and he has told me that a bunch of the keels broke and some of them came out of the box and had holes in the seams.

This is the first issue I have had with them, but not the first time I have heard about it.

There are lots of good mallard dekes on the market, but not really anything that looks like some of their OTMs do...

looked at the dakotas today. look real nice on the internets. i wonder who stocks em at a retail store?

I have some Final Approach and Big Foots and like them both. My next batch is gonna be Dakota's. Very nice lookin dekes.

The had some Dakotas at the Cabelas bargain cave in the Richfield, Wi store this past weekend for 50% off, paint was missing/chipping tho.

I favor Herters burlap. I swearing off the plastic decoys, these things take a beating and are easy to touch up paint when needed.

I like to use GHG dekes I would say stay away from Flambeau at all cost. My buddy bought some and by the next weekend they were already chipping. But my dad has some dos Gris dekes made by flambeau that are pretty close 15 years old and are still in great shape. I guess that goes to show they don't make things like they used to.
