Title: Dave Smith or Avians?
Post by: mastevt on April 09, 2014, 09:18:26 AM
I think I contemplated too long before I made my decision to buy new deeks.  They were all sold out of avians, which was I was leaning for, so I bought 2 DS decoys.  1 feeding hen, and 1 standing hen.   What all are your thoughts on the two?  Did my procrastination do me in, or do you think DS deeks are of equal value?

DSD is the best decoy made.

thanks guys!  that makes me feel better.  Once I get some money back from this latest call run, I'll probably add the jake.  Thanks again!

Vote for DSD here.  Couldn't keep the turkeys off my breeding pair today.

Got my first Avian feeder hen in today. I really like it. I thought blowing it up would be a pain, but it takes me 3 breaths to do so, which is manageable. I also have the Dakota Jake and Hen. Here is a picture of all three. The Avian X has a really nice iridescence to it. That's why it look bright in the picture with the flash.

May upgrade my decoys

I've hunted over both. I think the DSD's look much better than the Avians.

Sounds to me like your procrastination worked out to your benefit on this deal.  DSDs are head and shoulders above the rest.  Much for lifelike, durable, and man I gotta say lifelike again, lol.
