I have several styles of decoys, including inflatables that have worked just fine for me. It doesn't matter other than personal convenience and SAFETY (be sure to carry and set up your decoys in a "concealed" manner).

About 20 years ago, an article (John Trout?) in what was then Turkey magazine discussed what constituted a "decoy". The author was able to use a mounted tail of a gob successfully, and just a short white piece of pvc pipe on a stake (the simulated head of a gob). In other words, just parts of turkeys would work fine as decoys. Turkeys have great instincts, but at times they can be as bright as bricks.

My ancient Lynch is always strapped to my side, and sometimes I'll carry a small HS lil strut or a QB Boat Paddle too if I feel I'll need a different sounding box that day.
