Those of you that set up multiple DSD decoys or similar type, how do you carry them all? I think it's a pain to carry them in their separate bag.
Can someone recommend a lightweight and comfortable decoy bag that can carry at least three DSDs?
Thanks!

I'd just put them in a mesh duck decoy bag. You can probably look around and find 1 for 15 dollars or so. Just a idea

Yep..decoy bag
I also carry and store my DSD's in a full body Canada goose decoy 6-pack . Everything fits but the strutting gobbler. I use a modified golf cart for most of my hunts, so I don't have to carry them far.

I've been using this one for several years and it works great!

Bass pro sent me a bag when I ordered my decoys, I like it pretty well. I can fit two inflated avian x hens and a jake in it. It also has a pocket for stakes and whatever else you want to put in it

A.L.I.C.E. Pack. I carry two avian hen decoys, water, first aid stuff, a little 3/4 blind and my gobbler lounger. Comfortable and works great. Only improvement to make is to attach fastex buckles, makes it a little quieter.

If you are using expensive decoys, they will bang against each other and cause unnecessary damage to the paint... Also, those decoys will bang together and create a lot of unwanted noise...
Duck hunters figured that out, and came up with slotted bags to save the decoys unnecessary abuse.
They make slotted goose bags that will hold either 4 or 6 decoys... They will probably not fit a strutter, but if you get a slotted bag for standard honker decoys, most jake decoys will fit inside... I'd bet you could find someone who has such a bag and see if your decoys will fit.
Just for kicks and giggles, I tried my own slotted bag (made for smaller specklebelly decoys), and both my hen and jake decoy fit easily inside.
At the end of the duck season is a great time to look for sales, and here is a good price on a 4-slot bag:

Did I do that?

I ended up getting a canvas/mesh cabelas northern flight decoy bag last night. I couldn't find just a plain mesh one.
Thanks again for the ideas!
Marc, that's an excellent point you make. I would think if I left them in their dsd bag and then put them in the larger bag they should be ok.

Never tried this but I just thought of it. You could get an old us gi duffle bag (sea bag to any fellow marines) from ebay or an army surplus store. I've personally seen a grown man put in one of those so I'm sure it will hold plenty of decoys.
