People killed ducks for many years before such a thing, and even given two groups of hunters near each other, one with flocked, one without, I'd say that the ducks will still go to where they're inclined to go, without regard for the actual "look" of the decoys (as long as they aren't shining in the sun). I'm getting ready to make a bunch of flat decoys out of plywood, painted in the barn, and they'll work just fine. In my opinion, there's far better things to spend your money on, maybe gas to scout a little more to find that spot where the ducks want to be, where you won't need the flocked decoys. Not saying they're bad, I just think they're unnecessary, unless you're rich like Aunt Betty.
And when flocked decoys start to look bad, they start to look REALLY bad. At least with all plastic you can touch up the paint quickly and easily.
