Decoys question again

[gersdorf]

I know there have been a coulpe of other decoy posts but I am in the market for one and would like to hear everyone's thoughts on the Carrylite, Buckwing, and even the Delta decoy. How loud are they to put together? Can you pack on in on your back pack? Do they make a lot of noise walking through the woods with the legs and head in the chest cavity? I know the new Flambeau looks nice and there have been mixed reviews on the noise the legs make when installing them. And also, do you think that the size of the decoy will make a big difference on mature deer? The tv hunters I have watched have used the Delta decoy or the Carrylite. Sorry this is so long, I appreciate any thoughts on the subject and thanks!

After reading all the reviews i think i am going to chose between the Carrylite, or buckwing. I'm leaning towards the buckwing for the fact that it's lighter and has movement.

Stopped at the neighbors last night. He bought the BuckWing Bobblehead. I was totally impressed. Head/tail movement was awesome. The eyes made a huge difference as well. My flambeau may become a beaded doe. It has worked for me 3-4 times but is the nosiest thing to drag in the timber. The BW also has a better staking system (only 2 legs to secure) than the Flambeau...I have put that together in total darkness, and when the sun rose it looked like a backwards legged freak.

Buck wing is pretty tippy on uneven ground fellas---Take a look at the new MASTER SERIES BUCK from flambeau. I have had BW and Flambeau set up outside the office for a couple weeks and the BW keeps tippin over. The heat is terrible on it and the legs do set up nice, but are way-way to tippy for the uneven groud in NE Ia.The new falmbeau posture is awesome and comes with two sets of antlers so non IOWA residents have a smaller rack to play with.I sell BW, carrylite, delta and Flambeau and have killed a few nice deer over my carrylite, but I'm switchin to a Flambeau( modified with BW tail)for this fall.The flambeau is big bodied-but the bigger the bait-well you know Just my $200 worth.

Points taken M350, I wasn't comparing the BW to the new Flambeau.....just my 5/6 year old one. I'd like to see what your tail mod is.

I'll see if I can post some photo's Rudd.
No rude comments--First ya cut a hole where the tail should be then you "FLOCK" the tail, nose, ears and eyebrows black--then glue in a pair of taxidermy eyes and you have a pretty neat lookin buck fooler.(FLOCKING-that fuffy stuff that cuts down glare!!!) QUOTE"I'd like to see what your tail mod is".Is this a pick up line?
