Use a slotted decoy bag, plan on reflocking in a year or two depending on how hard you are on them. It's pretty easy and doesn't take too much time for duck decoys.

I have no idea how the Avian X flocking will hold up though since this is the first time they have offered flocked head decoys.

They usually show pretty good wear by the end of the season unfortunately.

My season could be 5 trips all in a boat and yours could be 35 trips all pack in hunts. Your decoys would show way more wear than mine would. My Don Mintz were five year old when I sold them and they showed very little wear. I think they had about 15 boats trips on them per season.

I think the 80+ hunts a season are rough on them.
I just quit getting flocked decoys. Made it a lot easier and we couldn't tell the difference it made. We still shot our limits.
