well when you hunt with about 50 guys like i do then you need to get the birds to you as easly as possable, some of us dont have the luxury of several feilds and an unlimited amount of birds, so if you can coox them in to get your limit b4the others do to garentee your succsess then do it. these deeks work even after they have been shot at several times, in my opinion dove decoys work better then any other game docoy out there, i have shot more birds faster since i baught them, makes for a better day. saying that we have a problem is valid but don't knock it till youve tryed it.
