Lots of em leak and they surely couldn't take a pellet without repair. Also how you suppposed to blow em back up once you get somewhere? Everyone I know leaves em inflated. That alone always freaked me out(being a ballon essentially)One advantage of them though is they're slightly smaller. I recommend the DSD. The disadvantage of them is price. Put em side by side n you decide op. I think it's pretty obvious thoughI don't disagree amigo. I just don't carry a separate decoy bag though and it's nice to be able to fold a couple up and stick in your vest. If I carried a decoy bag I'd definitely go with the DSDs. I haven't had any issues with shooting a decoy yet. My gun has a tight pattern and I usually shoot him when he walks away or before he gets there.How do you blow em back up though?

I get that head color on a strutting decoy could spook a subordinate Gobbler, but if there's a little too much pink or not enough gray on a hen decoys head does that really make a difference. Some of the decoys I've seen are almost like a taxidermist mount of a real hen.

I have had reactions from turkeys with my DSD's that I have never had with other decoys I have hunted/called over. My best DSD vs Avian was when my buddy had his Avian Hen out and we had a tom all worked up coming in and when he approached the set that tom walked right past his Avian to get to my DSD Hen. LOL just to say he now has DSD's I used to use the old Feather Flex foam decoys and yes killed birds over them, but when I have a hen walk up to my DSD Feeding hen look at the ground and start pecking to see what she is feeding on I'm sold.
