What are your thoughts On Cherokee Sports decoys. I had a couple guys on a different fourm tell me thats all they use. I dont have any decoys as of yet but may buy a few, just incase i go solo someday? They look to be inflatable? Or what do you use? Iam very new to this Turkey Hunting, and would like to buy one;s that look good. Dave

Just my 2 cents but the ones I saw at Gander looked very shiny. I'm not sure if they were cherokee but were inflatable and the stores lights shined quite bright off of them. I would say if they aren't shiny then give em a try and good luck.

Prolly a LOT more than you want to (or should) spend on your first decoy, but I've heard good things about Dave Smith decoys. I've got one on the way that I won on another forum, hopefully I'll have it in the next few days. davesmithdecoys.com/

I've used Sceery inflatables before with good success. They are pretty cheap and hold up well.
With that said, I have a jake, upright and feeding Dave Smith Decoy packed up and ready to go hunting. I had them out opening morning and danf is right, they are more than you should spend on a decoy, but danged they look good.
With the new ACE technology, you don't have to worry about "breaking" the decoy like the older decoys. The feeding hen caught a Nitro the other day and it just spun her around. They are made in the USA, they are durable and as realistic as you can get, the people at DSD are great to talk to and commited to customer service and they are made in the USA.

Andy, Tom Staples talked me into a feeding hen from DSD. It's not here yet, but I'm looking forward to seeing it- hopefully very soon. I had been leaning towards and upright hen, but I've got some hollow body decoys I can mix in if I see the need.
One item DSD is going to make next year, if you weren't aware, is a strutting tom decoy. There's not a lot of info yet, but it won't include any wings or tail, so you'd need to save those from an actual bird to use them with the decoy, similar to the Pretty Boy or B-Mobile.

I've seen the DSD decoys close up at the NWTF Convention and they are awesome! If I didn't own a "stuffer" I would have 1 or 2 myself......but I'd NEVER give up my "stuffer".

get a DSD decoy and you wont look back. they are the best, next to only a taxidermy decoy, and easier to transport. Prolly a LOT more than you want to (or should) spend on your first decoy, but I've heard good things about Dave Smith decoys.
