Dave Smith Decoys
 

How many of you use Dave Smith Decoys? I have a few and can't believe how real life they are. I can't wait for the season to open!!

If I had the money, I'd have them. Have you seen the new struttin tom for this year? Guys on the other forum I frequent always have great pics and videos using these. Very impressive. Maybe next year. Go Huskers:happy0001:

Oh that strutting Tom is a beauty. I would worry he'd scare off some of the less dominant birds-he's so dang realistic!
Ps. I didn't have the money for mine either-they were on my Christmas list! ;)

I had never seen these before, had to check them out after reading your post. DANG!! They are good lookin! Do they carry easy? If so I'm Gettin a hen for sure. Looks like the strutter would get you shot! Haha

Me? None ~ too expensive!

I do use decoys and my ole bobble head works just fine.....

As they look good I have also heard some stories that one should keep in mind. I heard that the warrenty on the DSD are Nil and they have had issues with shipping that the company would not stand behind. Now I'm not saying this is true but rather only heard.

The new Zink decoy is every bit as good and is also much lower in price. I'm also like JW and like the Bobblin head too but that company has gone into the ground, so when mine is gone so I bought the zink feeder for a back up ;)

LMAO!!! You are out of your flippin' mind with that statement!!! I am willing to bet that you have NEVER compared the 2 side by side ?!? I dare you to post up a photo of the Zink's next to a DSD and let everyone decide for themselves...... they aren't even CLOSE!!!

I realize that the DSD's a a little expensive but it confuses me is that folks shell out $1,000 plus on a bow or shotgun rig to hunt with, $5 a shell to shoot at 'em, Hundreds in camo and a fancy turkey vest but yet complain about a decoy that is nearly industructable and will last a lifetime ?!? Huh? I think some folks are only happy when they have something to complain about ?!?

Well said!!!!!!

Well to start, I by no means am complaining about a thing and don't ever have too. The DSD is a very nice decoy but as far as being any better for the price difference and for the warrenty that I have heard about them, they are not worth the extra.

I really don't give a flying hoot about any decoy but would not pay over the 100 mark on something that a company will not stand behind.

Here's the pic and I only wish I had gone over to the DSD booth now and took a pic.

I almost bought the Zink feeding hen at the NWTF Convention on Saturday. Looking back, I wish I would had. Don't know anything about the DSD decoys but that they do look good. I like the Zink decoy because you can deflate them and roll them up tight, which saves room and makes them easier to carry. I guess I will be forking out 80 bucks for the decoy before season starts.
