Does anyone use them and what do you think? I am looking for a light weight realistic decoy that is compact for carrying.
Thanks!!
Don't use them but man I certainly would. Got to see them at the sportsmanship show earlier this year and they looked good enough to me. We keep talking about avian and dsd like they're the best thing since sliced bread. They're good but let's be realistic. Tons of birds have been fooled with the foam decoys in the past and the Montana 3D is much better than they ever were. Heck, I used an avian breeder and an HS suzie snood last year. Left the decoys set and walked away to try and get on a bird. When I came back to my setup, I saw 3 heads there together. Couldn't see the bodies because of the roll of the hill. Until she moved off, I couldn't tell what was real and what was fake. This was at a bit of distance but still, it blew my mind. Go for it if you're looking for a good lightweight option that will do the job.
Buddy of mine just ordered the set of jake / hen from Amazon:

I tell ya, for $85 for BOTH, and the extreme portability... hard to beat. Are they DSD? No, but...

Just got the papa strut yesterday. Its ugly but will work. Very portable. Will probably pick up a hen.
I carry the miss purr-fect when I hunt public land here in PA and have had good success with it. I only use decoys maybe 20 percent of the time , usually if I'm set up on a power line or pipe line. I bought the jake this year to try as well. I like how compact they are since I hike in 3 miles or more at times.
