I like the feeding ones myself. I was always taught that a standing upright hen means an alert hen. So i stay away from the upright ones.

I've used 'em all and the best decoy pose in my experience is...... the most realistic lookin' decoy,... i don't care what pose it's in.

Based on what I've seen this year already...... I'm not using any other Hens other than DSD hens! They look simply amazing!!! [:-]

Here are some sample pix of their site.....

Well, does it really matter? I mean as long as the hen isn't to upright it dosen't matter. Our set up is 4 hens and B-mobile. We have one feeding two in a content positon and one upright. But as cornfed said the most realistic are the best. Yo IL the DSD's look great and all but isn't a hen around$100? and a jakearound $130

Yep, unfortunately they are a little on the cashy side. The DSD Hen runs $120 + S&H and the DSD Jake will set ya back $160 + S&H

That being the case, I still have spent far more than that on the numerous other decoys that I 've tried over the years and lookin' back, I just wish I had a few DSD's instead. I bought 1 hen for this Spring andWILL have another by next Spring.... I'd also loooovvee to try the Jake by next year as well! I would love to see DSD release a Full Strut decoy but I can't imagine what that would cost a guy??? lol !
