Has anybody got a decent solution to hauling texas rig (about 3 doz) decoys? I don't want to spend 100 bucks on special bag at Mack's and I've tried to rig my own but it ain't working. I spend 20 damn minutes untangling the mess before I can set them out. If it wasn't so nice to pick them up and throw them out, it makes me want to go back to the string and flat weights.

You can put 3 dozen standards in an Avery extra large standup bag. Take 12 decoys and tie 2 overhand knots- one close to decoys and other close to carabiner. Full bag but works pretty good.

I just bought a Rig em Right Gunslinger bag from Macks. Discounted to $50 free shipping. That's the top end of what I'm willing to pay, but it holds 2 dozen magnums without closing at the top. 1 1/2 and it would close I suspect. I'm mainly needing it to ride on the 4 wheeler and drag in a sled, so closing at the top is not an issue for me.

I use the drake stand up bag and it works good. Same as said before though tie 2 knots and drop in a dozen, repeat for the next dozen.

Exactly. I've been looking at both the stand up bag and the gunslinger but didn't know if y'all had better ideas. Sho 'preciate ya!

And FWIW, even though I think it's pretty high to pay $50 for any decoy bag, the Gunslinger does feel very well made and tough. I'm pleased so far.

Yeah, I been using 'em for about 3-4 years now. Rats like to eat on em though so hang em from the rafters.

I've got 1 gunslinger bag and 2 doc's hunt n stuff bags. I prefer the doc's but they could stand to be just a tad wider. Couldn't tell you the last time I checked their website and they actually had bags in stock though.

I've got the Rig Em Right DP3 decoy bag. I've got probably close to 3 dozen decoys in it with a little room to spare, and it rides perfect on the back of a four wheeler.

any stand up bag, and as said tie an overhand knot as close to decoys and a second as close to carbineer clip.

We just hang ours on a carabiner.........

So do we but that don't work well riding on the back of an ATV across a bean field.

I found a stand up bag at Academy for less than $30 that holds 40 standard decoys. It works great! Thanks for all the help guys!

I put thick zip ties around the bag straps and use cheap biners for each 6 decoys.....really helps. BTW, Cabelas and Rogers both have bags on sale.

We really like these for texas rigs.. You can slip a dozen dakotas in at a time without going from side to side throwing the stragglers in. It holds atleast 2 dozen of them. We have had 1 of them for 3 years and still holding up strong. Just bought 2 more this year for the rest of our dakotas.
