Best Decoys for Duck Hunting 

I have had avian x for about 10 years pins, teal, widegon, mallards and specs. I had the same pintails you did and at one point left them in a pond for an entire season. Id have to be on the flip side of your opinion on avian vs dakota paint. dakotas seem to get faded faster and avians seem to last longer. Im super abusive to my gear. I will say that the avains do seem to sometimes get dents in them too. but i hunt alot different water than you do im assuming.

I run pretty much all avian x. Never had a problem with the paint but I run slotted bags

Had a issue with my tangle free brant decoys. They are losing paint with the slightest scratch. Had to put a protective layer on and getting slot bags because they are just peeling like they were just painted with children’s paint. Reviews must be fake is how I feel. Hopefully there’s more GHG brant decoys available in the future.

Are the tangle free pro series mallards any good? I would buy some right now because there on sale but in my opinion the hens look like shit.

Southeast texas here. Y'all got any birds where you at?
