Such a Thing As a " Universal " Turkey Decoy Stake?

[JLH]

I use arrows.....cut them to the length you need...glue an insert on both ends and a field point on both ends.
They weigh nothing, plenty strong enough.....even have a couple long ones for when the grass grows up.

Not trying to be a wiseguy or anything, but how do you carry them safely? I would think one bad fall and you could Shish kebab yourself.

They go inside the decoy.....decoys go inside a bag...bag goes on my back.

Lots of others ways I can get hurt....the decoy stakes are definately not gonna do any damage

Must be either bigger decoys than I realize or shorter arrow shafts. I am guessing the second.

I guess both...lol
I use a DSD jake and hen, or a deception decoys hen.....the arrow/stake goes in the little hole below the tail (take this for what it is) .... into the body, and it does not stick past the tail.
Actually a very good system.

Flambeau makes a decent 2 piece plastic universal folding stake. Usually you can pick them up for 3-4 bucks.

  The arrow trick works pretty good and as far as any noise/rattle, it's no different than the old feather flex 2 piece aluminum stakes....just throw a rubber band around them.

That would seem must safer and quieter to be, thanks.

DSD and other companies put a hole near the decoys fan that allow the stake (be it a arrow, stick, or metal shaft) slide into the decoy horizontally, not vertically, so there is no stake exposed during travel. Nothing to get impaled by and it makes for a fast, simple, and quiet storage system.

In a pinch, we use the old arrow trick. It works well for us. If it works, then its right.

Thanks for the reply, that explains a lot.
