Solid decoy
 

I was at BPS, yesterday.....and saw a solid, painted decoy. Do you guys have any experience with these? It was about $100.

I apologize if this has been visited, before.....but I am usually in the bowhunting forum.

Thanks.

$100.00 for just one hen decoy, thats alittle to rich for my blood .

RE: Solid decoy
 

RD....I'd agree.....but I'd pay more for a decoy if I thought it would get that bird to commit, more often (based on realism). There's guys using REAL, stuffed hens that I'm sure cost more than $100.

Just wondering.......if anyone had any experience with them.

any ole decoy will work.......I also don't pay more than a few bucks and have bought most my flock from garage sales!

I'm sure they will, JW.....but would you agree some are better than others? There's likely a reason the guys are using the stuffed hens. I'm just trying to find out if people have heard of or had any personal knoledge/experience with the solid decoy.

Thanks.

agreed...I got two hens and a jake decoy package for about 40 dollars or so and has lasted me several years now...

RE: Solid decoy
 

Guys.....with ALL due respect....I'm not really wanting to debate their cost. If they were ALL FREE......would you use the solids over the ones you have? Would you use a real, stuffed hen over the ones you have?

If cost were not an issue.....

Thanks!

If one was given to me ... yes I would try it and your right , this isn't about cost.
Those solid decoys look close enough to be real , the detail and color is great.
As for the stuffed hen decoys , I would try those too .

Right on. They just want your money. I can kill a turkey usinga feather flex just as easy as I can with the mounted version or the solid one, and save 90.00 to 400.00 dollars.

Thanks, RD. I appreciate it.

The question was REAL simple. Thanks for your direct answer.
