I'm glad you said that about the Buckwings. I am looking to get some decoys this year also and was looking for advice earlier and until now thought that the buckwings were a shoo in. I've never bought any decoys before so I'm a newbie and so far everyone has pointed me towards 3 brands, Delta, Feather Flex, and Buckwing. The one's I was warned against were the inflattables, seems they are to shiny for some people.

If you don't mind me asking, how old are your buckwings? Do they have the expander stake? What exactly is it that you don't like about them?

I really hope that you get some good advice on this post because I will be watching as well... Let us know what you finally decide on. Thanks, JR
