With 3 DSD decoys for 2014, what do y'all use for a decoy bag?

With 3 DSD's, you might have to use a duck decoy bag. LOL!
I used to use mesh decoy shoulder bags for my duck layouts. They'd fit all your Turkey decoys no problem. Made it easy to carry when I had my gun & chair in tote as well.

K2..I got plenty of those bags, I was just afraid of sounding like the junkman going into the woods at dark thirty. Guess I'll try keeping them in their original bags, then putting them into a duck decoy bag.
Lets see...shotgun, vest, blind, chair, and 3 decoys. Where to put the coffee pot and donuts.

DSD , as of last year has been sending all decoys with a improved lightweight camo bag with a built in carry strap --- it's nice
I plan on using a shopping cart and not the ones from Target or Lowe's :TooFunny:

I picked up a hardcore decoy bag just like the gander mtn bag. I've got two dsd decoys and a killer b and they all fit with plenty of room. They don't slosh around and make a big amount of noise and very comfortable. Bought it for 16 bucks
I didn't have any excessive noise issues. I do think the original bags will do.

By the time I pack in 3 DSD, blind, bow, and huntmore chair I'm pretty much spent. Thought of trying the deer cart if it's damp. If it's dry I just pack it all in in the shoulders. It also depends if I'm hunting timber or fields.

I plan on doing the same thing this spring when blind hunting! Last year I had to walk 3/4 of a mile with 3 DSDs, a blind, a chair, a bow and a shotgun. I killed a 21lb longbeard and had to make 2 trips. The deer cart will be used this spring!

I ended up calling a friend to come help after I shoot my bird. It's also was about 3/4 of a mile in with about 3 inches of rain the day before. I had forgot my release in my truck and made an extra trip already.
I too bring in a blind, a huntmore 360, bow, calls & 4 DSD"s. The decoys are stored in their individual bags & then put in a Primos duck decoy bag. I bungie it all on to my game cart...makes it pretty easy, but have to go pretty slow to keep the noise down. I'm looking at maybe installing some delrin bushings in my cart due to excessive play in the axle.
How about a wheelbarrow?
I sewed my own. I use 3 in the fall. It works better and hens almost always go to the feeder decoy and try to beat it up. Here is what I found. You need to carry your 3 pack with the hens in the virtical position. If you try to carry them in the horizontal position it will be to cumbersome.Get a couple yards of material and lay the decoys on it to get an idea of where to sew for a devider.Let me know if you want to see some pics or need help.
Worked in a bean field, but corn was a no go. Dolly worked good for me, as it can be pulled or pushed in bad and uneven terrain.
