Bear, one decoy would work fine. I just happen to like the "idea" of having three decoys set-up, personal preference here all the way. The same thing goes for brand as well. I guess which ever one looks good to your eye. I just happen to like the "looks" of the Carry-Lite brand, but that's just me. There are many brands of decoy's now out on the market, the blow up variety, foam, and rubberized plastic ones. Good luck in your decoy quest.<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
