never owned one but i have been burnt by decoys alot as far as the actual birds go. Last yr was a gimmee, dumd 2 yr old birds with no hens right at daybreak, a scrtatch on the pot call and they were on the way in. Had my cheap decoys in just the right spot as far as where the birds were comin with myself between me and them. Since i had the dekes where i did it worked out, but they hit about that 50 yrd mark between themselves and the dekes they hung up and by the looks of em completely knew somethin wasn't right! Hung up bigtime!, luckily i was about 25 yrds from the birds in the middle, but i really was tryin to get em in the dekes but noooo way that was happenein as i said they knew somethin was up. This was about my 3rd or 4rth bad experience with cheap dekes in the past 3 or 4 yrs. Not gonna have the $ for a dsd or anything like that this yr so thinkin wont take em at all. Not sayin them expensive ones really work, but i'm done usin cheap ones!!!!
