re: Pre-duck season decoy prep - paint touch-up and flocking

My next question is wear and tear. Do you use a decoy sack where they can knock each other around or do you have a slotted bag to protect each decoy?

All my decoys are TX rigged, so no bags/sacks of any kind. I transport them in a jet sled from the truck to the duck hole. They went on probably 15-20 hunts last year. I probably could've made it to the second split or maybe even all year without them looking too rough, but I decided to repaint and reflock this offseason. And they were hunted in some pretty tough conditions. I'd say at least 5 or 6 of those hunts the flocking had ice formation and it held up fine.
