New deke.....Solid body.....
 

I've been using collapsible hen decoys for years......but I went with a hardcore hen from the Widow Maker Co., yesterday (picked it up at BPS).

Whatcha think?

Another......

Looks great, but it must be a pain in the rear to carry around. Do you carry it in a decoy bag?

RE: About my new deke.....
 

It comes with a backpack type bag......and (I'm just guessing).....CAN'T weigh a pound. I'm going to be putting my DB blind/bag on a golf pull cart to get into my area.....so the extra bag won't make much difference, I hope.

We'll see! 13 days!

They do look great,but I know they are on the pricey side. I run'n'gun alot,so they would not be for me.
I see in the pics that you have nice green grass down your way. We got 11 inches of snow yesterday! Temp out side right now is 20 degrees with the winds out of the NW at 20 to 25 mph.It's like winter!
Minnesota weather bits sometimes!

Looks very realistic to me....I think the decoy will do a great job!

Looks very realistic. I personally don't care for the solid body (pain to haul around). I like to take the least amount of equiptment I can in case I have to relocate. It definitly looks more realistic than mine....but judging from the past nine years, mine looks realistic enough. :D Good luck with it

I like it GMMAT. I have one of the older full body hen decoys and I think they can make a difference sometimes on those gobblers that can't make up their mind. If I ever find $400.00 laying around I'd buy one of those Hazel Creek mounted hen decoys. I think the more realisticthe decoy the better advantage. Hope your new decoys works well for you. Let us know.

I have one of those widow makers as well.

Its another good excuse to take a kid hunting with you so that you have an extra body to tote the thing with. I am using the same sack as I have my B Mobile in, and it has been through the dry run and a few scouting trips with no problems at all. Since I am used to lugging a bag full of duck decoys through the woods, while wearing waders, carrying a gun, a blind bag, and minding the dog, it takes a lot to make me say something is too big a pain to tote.

RE: New deke.....Solid body.....
 

It'll fit in my DB Matrix bag (the deke will)......so if I end up going with the wild thing pack.....I won't have a big carrying issue to deal with.

I'm anxious to seeher in action!
