Favorite decoys?

Small string of bluebills with a half dozen wigeon dekes is a magnet for both.

Dakota has some awesome deeks! Highly recommend getting some good flocked, at least the heads

Weird that some have had good luck with the Avian-X paint. I have Avian-X widgeons, pintails, teal, and mallards and every one of them has lots of paint coming off from light use except the pintails. For contrast, I too have some 15 year old GHG hot buys, and they had not to much more paint wear as the 2 year old Avians.

I took on a big project last summer of flocking all my decoys myself. It was a long, laborous project, but it was also fun! Not to mention the money saving. Also you get a much more durable flocking if you do it yourself. I used my decoys last season every weekend and they have no wear, unlike the Avians before I flocked them.

I only noticed a difference of the flocked decoys to attract ducks on the sunny days. So not many days hahaha. On cloudy days, I am not sure if there was a difference or not. But hey they look good to me! My vote is keep what you have, and make them into what you want. It is easy to foam them yourself if you wanted too.

Most of my decoys are at least 30 years old. Just repaint them when i need to. That said I also bought some bass wood and cork to make my own. I've always heard that cork has the most realistic look on the water. We'll see.

I’m hoping to get those MWHGA decoys ASAP!
