Duff,
You questioning my creditability?
If they were junk I would tell you and I wouldn't use them! But they're not! Again that report is my honest opinion of all the ones that I mentioned from my experience with them and also from first hand information from alot of friends that are hardcore waterfowlers. ;D Dakota is sponsoring us, but also we are given the task of field testing the decoys for Bill, and I can tell you that I have used them just as I would my Bigfoots previously, I told Bill that I would and I wanted to see how they would hold up, I'm happy so far! Next year we will have more to use as well, and I will be bagging them to help protect the flocked heads from getting too worn, just as you would with any flocked head decoy. As far as the paint, cracks, etc. I've not had any issues at all. There are some scuffs from chucking and piling them alittle on the bodies, but it is not flaking off any paint, just normal scuffs from rubbing and such, it knocks off the high spots just like you would with the Bigfoots after time of piling them. I see the Dakotas as what Bigfoots would be if they were to update their decoys and add a quality motion system. That is my honest opinion, not a biased one!
