I think so, but I buy all elites, so they come with the bag.

We hang ours right on the beams that go acroos the ceiling in the trailer, then stack them on the floor too.

I think the bags are a good investment because they do protect decoys pretty well. Because when you look at it, when are decoys getting worn/beat up? Not when they're sitting on their stakes while hunting.....they get beat up when you store and/or transport them. Out of all of my full body goose decoys, the ones that show the most wear are 6 Pro-Grade lookers and 4 old FA actives. Those are the first full body geese I ever had (been through 4 seasons with them now I think) and they have never been bagged. The heads on all of them are showing moderate wear and small chips (very small) chips of paint are coming off of them. They have been in and out of the back of my Explorer countless times and they have always just been stacked.

Al, Derek and I got a good deal on 30 older Pro-Grades before last fall and they all have the real feet bases on them. Al and I plan on building a shelf for them in our trailer, which will hold them nice and also save us money on bags. But our other decoys that run on motion bases are in bags. I'm sure there are some ways to shelf/hang them without having to buy bags, but I don't know a way.

They are definitely worth the money! My buddies are amazed when I tell them my floaters and full bodies are 3 years old.

bags are deffinately worth it for both protecting the decoys and its a lot easier to carry a bag full of dekes then it is carryin 3 or 4 decoys at one time.

Bags help the paint last longer and with the protection they are easily stackable. Just my $.02
