Quick Answer
The best way to carry multiple decoys into the field is by using a sturdy decoy bag or backpack with multiple compartments and pockets to organize and protect your decoys.
Choosing the Right Gear
When selecting a decoy bag or backpack, look for one that is specifically designed for carrying multiple decoys. These types of bags usually have multiple compartments and pockets to keep your decoys organized and protected during transport. Consider a bag with reinforced seams and sturdy straps to withstand the weight and rigors of the hunt.
Packing and Organizing Decoys
To make the most of your decoy bag or backpack, pack your decoys in a way that balances weight distribution and easy access. For example, pack the heaviest decoys at the bottom of the bag and the lighter ones on top. Consider organizing your decoys by type, such as separating your turkey fan decoys from your jake decoys. This will make it easier to grab the decoys you need quickly and efficiently.
Setting Up Your Decoys
When setting up your decoys in the field, start by laying out the base decoys, such as the gobblers or jakes. Then, add the fan decoys, making sure they are evenly spaced and at the correct height. Finally, add the remaining decoys, such as hens or juveniles, to complete your spread. Consider using a decoy stake or pin to secure your fan decoys to the ground, especially in windy conditions.
