This is a lot cheaper than the beavertail. It says its for ice fishing though. Is it rugged enough?

Paddle with me and find out what STUPID really is.

Ive used the large concrete mixing tubs from home depot. Drill two holes big enough to get a decent rope thru on one side (high by the lip) and you're done.

Re: Could I use this as a decoy sled?
I use it for duck hunting! It works great but I also wish I had gotten the bigger one. I also use it as a poor mans layout blind. Not the most comfortable but it gets the job done and can give you a pretty low profile!
Re: Could I use this as a decoy sled?
I use it for my decoys when duck hunting. It handles 2 dz decoys no problem. I would go bigger if you are planning to haul more gear.
I'm one season in and it has held up just fine. All I did to mine was drill holes along the top lip to run a bungee cord to help keep the decoy bag in.

Re: Could I use this as a decoy sled?
Jet sled for me has worked wonders. Tow it behind the quad with ease as well. Highly recommended for walk in hunting locations.
