Well, I bit the bullet and bought me an alert hen, DSD decoy. I will probably buy the jake, when I get a good look at the one I bought today. Can't wait to see her. I never have used a jake in my set-up when I use a decoy, but have heard lots about them that do. Any input on this? Mike
Don't use on public land, to real
DSD are worth whatever you have to pay for them!!! :icon_thumright:
Just received my DSD jake. They are worth the money!
Yea, I'm looking at the DSD's also. I am thinking two standing hens, one feeding hen, one jake. I see Cabela's carry's them now.

I put in an order Friday for the breeding pair. Can't wait to see the box come off the mail truck :you_rock: I already have the upright hen and man is it AWESOME
I have been using the DSD decoys since their introduction and simply will not use anything else!
The most realistic and durable decoys I have ever used period.
Another huge plus for me is that they are the only turkey decoy made here in the U S A! :smiley-patriotic-flagwaver-an

I agree with all of the above. I ordered mine from Cabela's as did a few of you. I have a month to figure it all out. Thanks for the input..Mike
You will love them!! The jake has worked wonders when teamed up with the hens...
I just ordered the jake.. Now....any input on the double decoy bag made by USA Hunting Gear? Is it needed. Will the bags that come with the DSD's, suffice? Thanks..Mike
I am so confused!! :z-dizzy:
Will one fit in a Tater ll vest (back pocket)?

If you're going to spend good money on THE BEST decoys get you a double decoy bag from USAHUNTINGGEAR. Tom's bags are made especially for the DSD's. Tell him to also send you a padded strap. He makes top notch products. Good Luck This Spring !

I think it was designed
specifically for those.
Yeah I bought the double bag from USA huntinggear and it is custom fit for the jake and hen. Perfect fit and very convenient to carry.
It was designed to fit Both dcoys at the same time work great they are good folk. Had some personal problems they were working on. They may need some business and would be glad to help.

Googled "USA Hunting Gear" and came up empty. Does he have a web site? If not, what's the best way to get in touch with him? I have the upright hen and about to pull the trigger on the jake and sure would like to check out these double decoy bags you guys are raving about. Thanks.

There you go, Slwayne. I haven't gotten mine yet, but he said I would have it by Fri. He is a really nice guy, and extremely apprectiative of anything bought from him. His prices can't be beat. I don't think you'll be sorry if you buy his double bag, or anything else of his, for that matter..Good luck, brother..Mike

Tell him I sent ya'..
Got it guys. Thanks.
I just got one of the double bags last week for my Dave Smith hen and jake. Trust me, you won't be disappointed. Carrying them is going to be easy and quiet. It's a great decoy bag!
After using the primos she mobil decoys for a few years, I just purchased a new DSD upright hen from cabelas and received it yesterday, Wow this decoy is amazing, I sure hope she lures me in a nice willing tom this spring!
I was introduced to Dave Smith goose decoys several years ago while shooting resident geese in Alabama. I remember sending an email asking if they made a turkey decoy and they did not at the time. I bought the next best back then, a hard core turkey decoy. Yes they made them before Primos bought them. Anyway the following year I went to the NWTF national convention in Atlanta and Dave Smith Decoys were there with their new turkey decoy. Didn't ask the price, just bought it. Got home and gave the hard core decoy away. I think the next one I bought was the jake, then the feeding hen. This year at the convention I bought the full strut. Only reason I did is because I will be hunting a couple of clear cuts this year.
I broke the head off my first DSD and just glued the head back on. I will buy a new one today if they have any left at Marks outdoor in Birmingham.
I have a ton of money tied up in DSD and don't use them but a couple of times a year. When I hunt pastures or clear cuts. I learned to turkey hunt without a decoy, Alabama didn't make it legal till 2005 I think. I always move to too much and get in real close to worry about picking up and setting a decoy. BUT when I want to use a decoy, I have the best available in the truck. I have had jakes try to mount the hen decoys in front of me, I have had gobbler attack the jake decoy, and have had turkeys scratch and feed touching the decoys.
By far the best decoy available.
I don't even woods goat hunt much, but a friend and I are going to buy the posturing buck decoy this year.
