Do you have a brand in mind?  DSD, Dakota, Avian or HS?

The lowest price out of them, or a sale that may be happening to make a good deal on any? I have no preference of brand

Try this.  Touch up the paint on the head, and you're good to go...

Looks decent, think I should grab that or pay a little more for the hs woody?

Yep.  I painted the head/neck to add some more red, though.  They're pretty light and have a hollow body, so you can stuff a hen decoy in there to carry around.  For $20, it has worked just fine.  I haven't tried anything fancier.

Bowhunter, That's a great price for the Pretty Boy Jr.  I own a Dakota Xtreme Jake and a HS Strut Sneaky Pete.  I use the Dakota when I plan on sitting for a while and the other for run-n-gun.

Gotcha, I believe I'm between the pretty boy jr and the woody hs strut. 20$ more for woody. Seems better made but not sure

If you can find a pretty boy jr, you can usually pick them up on the cheap.  I got one last year and repainted the head.  Paint and all for less than $30
