They are great looking decoys but you have to treat them nice, 12 slot bags are the best,
They will not self right if your going to be just throwing them out into the water.

Pretty pricy at around 500 bucks a dozen, but they are a great looking decoy!

They are nice looking decoys.  I have a dozen of them and have used the small spread very effectively late season hunting flooded fields.  I have also found you can buy and sell a dozen nice decoys each season and be ahead of the game.
Cut em!
It's not the shells!  It's the shooter!

I've got 4 dozen. They can be found on the used market for 250 a dozen. They are nice decoys. More durable than one would imagine. They ride nice in the water, the drakes have a very good paint scheme and the hens are the best on the market. Lots of guys put Decoyl line winders on them, pretty dang handy if you're hunting water up to 6' or so. The widgeons are more difficult to find and they are very very good as well.

Thanks guys. I think I might get some in the future. We used to hunt over some of my buddies in yrs past but while I was away for a few years my buddy got out of hunting and sold all his gear... I heard that there dekes now are not as good as they used to be but sounds like they are still top notch.

Buy used. The new decoys paint scheme isn't nearly as good.

Look into the full flocked tangle free. Really good decoys.Pricey as well, but you get what you pay for.
Is it waterfowl season yet..............
