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 !

Thanks and I've looked at DSD's there way out of my price range but they would be worth it. I'm FINALLY getting someone to take me turkey hunting in the morning that knows something about it I'm SOOOOOOOOO excited he is really good I'm hoping to kill my first gobbler!!!
