In your opinion, what is the most durable/realistic "cheap" decoy on the market? I need a new set of dekes but do not want to pay $70+ for one decoy. I am looking at deltas, primos, carry lite, etc?
What do you think?
I use the Primos Swingin Hen and Submissive Hen and have killed several Gobblers over them, the past several years. What I like about them is the metal stake that comes with them. It has a wingnut on top that allows you to
adjust the movement of the decoy in windy conditions. The Swingin Hen is a feeding hen that has a head that moves and to me movement is the KEY to any decoy spread. You can pick these up on E-Bay for about $25-$30 a piece.
anyone else?
Save your money and don't use decoys. You'll have better luck. Search youtube for tom kelly. He has a small video concerning turkey hunting advice and in the beginning of the clip and kicks the decoys off the porch. Theyre pretty much just something else to tote around with a 50/50 chance of them working or spooking the bird off.
Big fan of the Delta decoys. Been hunting with them the past 10 years after starting with feather flex, flambeau, and carry lite.

I hunt a lot of field edges and I have had pretty good luck with decoys in the past. When hunting wooded areas I don't bother with them. My deltas are getting pretty old and I wanted some advice on which type to buy.
