Doesn't make a bit of difference. I have about six sacks of decoys at the house and camp and they range from one year old to 30 years old as far as decoys, just go for it.

Are these the ones with the removable keel? If so, one of our guys bought some last year and they look real good. What we liked about them was the removable keel. On one of our fields the birds wanted to be where the water was only a couple inches deep. Regular dekes drug the bottom while the Dakotas without the keel had very good movement with a breeze.

I think at one point last season there were 5 different brands of decoys in our spread and we killed plenty of ducks that day, doesn't look nearly as pretty to the hunter but it is still effective

I painted all mine red white and blue last year. Even added some little orange hats to them. Still shot plenty of ducks.
