Timbr I hear you.
I went to the DSD web and am awaiting the newest addition to my flock even tho all my seasons are over!
I thoroughly enjoy using the DSD decoys and I try different decoy variety layouts to entice the turkey.
Most work, some do not.
I enjoy seeing the decoys getting the snot knocked out of them.
Little decoy maintenance and tips.
I do use gloss black nail polish to shine the eyes up. Keep em glossy! Keeps em real looking.
I do bath my decoys with a soft brush, warm water, nand Dawn dish soap.
Don't ever push the decoy stake in the ground by pushing on the decoy. Its best to insert the stake and give the decoy a spin. That way I can get the decoy facing in the direction I want.
I use a nylon 4 slot goose bag to carry my flock.
Tom's like to approach the Jake decoy from behind and not beak to beak.
If a Tom stops short from coming in it is because of the Jake decoy. Note that and leave him in the bag next time.
