I still use a real old carry lite 2 hens and a jake set. The jakes beard has long since fallen off so I put a small stick in to hang out. Most of the time I don't use them because I like to run and gun the birds and usually don't have the time to set up with a long beard coming in. Last year though I did get my 2 birds using the decoys on consecutive days from the same stand. The decoys are old and faded but they fold up nicely in my vest. The newer realistic ones look great but I will stick with my old ones at least for a couple more years.
