    I just bought the Jake and the breeder hen...short of shooting it directly, I don't see them popping..they are very thick...probably thicker than a basketball.

    I just bought the Lookout Hen and I have no problems with it. I am buying the Breeder hen next week. You don't have to blow a lot of air into it before it is inflated. Like Relic ^ said unless you shoot them, they should be fine.

    I certainly can't wait to try em out...they look great. I was torn between them and the Dave Smith decoys and I'm glad I went with avian X....I like the option of being able to deflate them and stuff them in my vest. Though the carry bags are really nice and they are very light when in the bags...should be easy to carry.

    I got the 2 pack from Cabelas, and then I ordered the lookout hen from scheels, and Im waiting for my feeder hen from Bass Pro. They were all on backorder, its crazy. But, I have the first 3, and they are all very thick and seem very durable. I think the only way your popping these is by using a machine to blow them up. Idk if we have enough force to pop them with just our lungs.

    I have the Jake and Breeder hen combo. They are really tough. I actually used an air compressor to blow them up initially and not even that came close to popping them. They seem really tough. I can't wait to try them out. I just hope no one shoots them, they seem so real.

    I have had two of them for three seasons and they are excellent. They really are not under pressure, but just use air to "fill" the form. They do have a valve and hold some air, but they would still keep good shape if they got punctured in my opinion. They are strong enough that I doubt you would ever have to worry about it. I think they are the best decoy on the market. It takes very little breeze to get them to move on the stake, and they are pretty much silent.
