Call me crazy on avian x?

[GED6531]

I have avian x dekes and love them. I had a leak about a week ago in one of mine and I could not even blow it up. I immediately realized that the white "pvc looking" valve had come unglued. I just took some primer and put it around the circle on the bottom of the decoy to reconnect and it works fine now.

I don't use dekes, but I had a pinhole on the side of a pair of muck boots that I patched with a dab of Goop. So far it's held through a deer season, rabbit season, and now turkey season. If it held through the stuff I stomp through in rabbit season, I would think it would plug a small leak in your decoy. Just trying to offer a cheap option that you may have on hand.

I use both DSD & AX...I find the AX jake easier to travel with...DSD hens travel fine, just remember to pack the metal stake in checked luggage...

I like AX, but if/when my AX jake starts leaking, I might just go all DSD...

I will give AX every chance to remedy though...

Seems like alot of money spent on something that has a tendency to leak air.  I have cherokee sports dekes with the taxidermy heads and leaking has never been an issue.  Much more affordable and really compact.

I am almost scared to use the gobbler because it looks so lifelike.

My Cherokees are 5-6 years old, but I only use them 1-2 times per season. Its not my style. Mike
