My opinion is there's a place for cheap decoys and a place for expensive ultra-realistic looking decoys. If I'm hunting over a spread of 4+dozen decoys I don't think the expensive decoys make a difference. But if I'm hunting a small pothole targeting mallards, and mottled ducks with less than 2 dozen decoys I believe it could make a difference.
Coke bottles are great if your hunting over 100+ decoys and leave them out all season.
A buddy of mine kind of new to hunting said last year, man don't throw out those old nasty decoys. (These nasty decoys have worked great and will continue to work) but I was hunting his place so I played along and bit my lip. The point is, opinions are not always generated from sound experience and I'm sure he's not the only one who think ugly decoys don't kill ducks.
