Picked up a dz. of the mallards ( non flocked ) recently. Only hunted once over them.Did not kill any birds over them yet. Use an Ascend H12 to travel to my blind. As well as, use that same yak with a brushed in blind to hunt other spots. So weight is a big factor for me. In Nothern Ohio along Lake Erie, so I get the cold, wind, snow, and ice. And depending on the wind direction lack of water. Where my actual blind is located on a river in a large marsh, the water will act like it is tidal. So I may start out with knee high water while setting up but, but mid hunt it could be a few inches in depth to a total mud flat. Was tired of looking at my decoys on their sides and birds flaring out. The flat bottoms of these was another check of the box on my list of what I am looking for in decoys to over come the challenges I face. Decided to get 6 packs of their Black Ducks, Pintails, and Widgeons on Black Friday to add to the dozen I already have. Too soon to give you an honest reveiw on how these have been for me. But, I do know that they solve some of the obstacles that I have encountered hunting in the places and manner that I do. Really looking forward to see how they hold up and perform in the situations/environments I will hunt over them. Have seen others show and say they are not as good as they are hyped up to be. That is how I came across your video review. I appreciate your honest review of them. One question I have for you, how to you store and transport them? For me, I recieved a 12 slot decoy bag last year for Christmas that I never used. Been waiting to use it for nice decoys. I have a lot of decoys but, they have been used and abused. So they live on Texas rig bundles hung up in my barn. With these, I am using the slotted decoy bag for storage. And have more bags coming with the new half dozen packs. Hoping to get more longevity out of these paint and condition wise that way.
What is the size? Or how big? Nose to tail. Length. Width ? I just bought the same boat u have except I have a 40 efi hdr anniversary. I pick it up AUGUST 2022. I'm looking to up grade decoys. Like the review. I hunt like u Id,OR CA, WA.
