Looks like their 2 different hen decoys are $120 each, with a pair of 'em for $230 - "low head" feeding hen & "high head" upright / alert hen ...

... and they look to have a Feeding Hen & Tom pair for $260 - couldn't find a pic of the Tom decoy ... :-\

Well, they do look very nice; but if I were thinkin' about a decoy for that kind of $$, I would sure have to give the Dave Smith Decoys a good look as well - his hens go for about the same $120 ...

Post by: Porter on May 10, 2010, 05:17:17 AM: I'm not a duckhunter, so when you say made of foam... I'm assuming foam filled perhaps?

Ghost Maker Calls and I looked at a set of decoys at Nashville. They were hardbodied decoys too and they looked good and were cheaper than the DSD ones.

My personal preference is that I do not like to carry hard body decoys around. If I carry one, I want it light weight and easily packable..

Never have seen these before and have to do some research *cheers*

Post by: SurroundedByOutlaws on May 10, 2010, 10:43:16 PM: That DSD hen that hunter22 had in OK was so real looking i caught myself more than once having to look twice at it even when i knew it was there, just my 2 cents. All up to the hunter to decoy or not to decoy
