I have a few dozen sitting up on the shelf. I used to use them several times a year in areas I had to walk a long ways. They work. If you hit them with shot they are pretty much done. They don't seem to last long as they rot around the bottom ring and the marble in the front where the line is attached. Recently sold about 10 dozen that I had sitting around forever. I would go with the plastic inflatable or foam style before I purchased more of the Deeks decoy.
