what do you think would be better, 3doz hot buys or 2 doz oversize?

i'm thinking of just puting the hot buys in one bag and sayn f*** the paint or putting the 2doz oversize in 2 12slot bags.

I'd go with 2 dozen over sized. Or one dozen oversize and two dozen hot buys... sometimes size contrast seems to help with finicky birds.

I feel a mix of sizes works well

I would use part Hot buys and oversized
I run Hot buy mallards , oversized mallards , oversized blacks , Pintails and Green wing teal
May add 1/2 doz of Gadwall and 1/2 Doz of ringneck decoys this year

For walk in hunting
I convertedall the standard sized and Oversized decoys to water Keel by cutting a small hole in each end of the keel and dumping out the sand

As I use a Deer cart to haul in my gear , I haul in 4 - 6 doz decoys , a mojo , waders and blind bag on the cart

showing my ignorance here, what is a walkin decoy? fullbody?

if you get the hotbuys just hit them with some krylon matte clear coat. will help with the paint.

Walk in decoys are decoy you lug in every time to hunt over
Vers being able to haul them in by boat , truck or ATV

I am luckey , my favorit walk in place has a nice dike to walk down
So I can use a wheeled cart

But some places I hunt
You have to carry the decoys on your back
So weight is a factor

As I walk in close to a mile , sometimes well past a mile
