I was looking at starting to pick up a few decoys and wondered why one over the other? I know the foam filled ones will weigh a little more, something I'll consider if doing walk in hunts.

foam ones won't take on water after they get sprayed with pellets

they also ride a little different in wind and waves, not a big difference though

and if you're walking in through water just Texas rig em and clip them to your waders and weight doesn't matter

foam, but either will work

No foam for me as I walk in most of the time. The weight makes a difference.

Well, I ordered two dozen decoys foam filled. We'll see how they look and hopefully get to try them out before the season is up. Thanks for the input.

I think the foam deke will move in less wind situation. Sit a little higher in water, therefore requiring less wind for movement.
