Default RE: Anybody use inflatable decoys?

First open a bow and inflate 1
Look at how it looks and how shinny the paint looks
How easy was it to inflate it ?


They might have a different brand now , but .................

I had 2 doz 2 years back that were suposed to self inflate
Well on a warm day they inflated OK .
On a nice cold day they didn't
After giving the decoys mouth to butt a few time to inflate them .
I quit using them
Also After a season of hunting / dog running them over / riding around in the bag in the back of my truck .
The paint was chipping badly

I traded them to someone that just HAD to have them

IMO buy water keel decoys and use lighter anchors .
In the marsh I use 4 oz anchors , the anchors hold well in the water weeds
I take in 20 .
They fit in the decoy bag with the waders , shells , ect, I walk in with tennis shoes or knee boots
Because I walk in over a mile some times
