 Re: Ideas for a Higdon Pulsator 2 decoy bag
I just store mine in a rubbermaid tote. Holds three swimmers and a butt in a standard sized one. In the boat i just take them out of the you're and stick em in to whatever space is available. Boxes in the boat take up too much space for me. They're very durable.

 Re: Ideas for a Higdon Pulsator 2 decoy bag
They seem to be put together pretty well except for where the pump connects to the bottom of the decoy. Has that broken on you ever? That is really the only part I'm worried about

No. The higdon I've got is the swimmer, but it should be attached the same. The rest i built off that design. I've had it for 2 years getting beat up in boats and the bed of my truck sometimes and not one issue yet.

 Re: Ideas for a Higdon Pulsator 2 decoy bag
The pulsator is a great addition to a hunting spread and Higdon is a good company to work with. However, the pulsator is not as rugged as it would initially appear. You need to handle it with care or your will end up replacing connections. Putting a loop in the cable at the pump and zip tying it to the pump housing can save a failure there. If you are going to run it in deep water, buy the extensions to avoid fatiguing the connections.
The less you handle them and bang them around the better. I carry mine in a rubbermaid tub with the hook in the hose used to hang the decoys over the side of the tub and the battery packs stacked in the bottom of the tub.

Two seasons on mine put a pice of foam in the bottom of a Rubbermaid tote also works good.

 Re: Ideas for a Higdon Pulsator 2 decoy bag
I have 2 pulsators, I just throw them in the boat and don't worry about it. They are well built. I don't have a lot of room for extra boxes.

 Re: Ideas for a Higdon Pulsator 2 decoy bag
I have been carrying mine around in a zipper tool bag & small duffel bag for several years. Old series motor played out on the first. Higdon is very helpful and CS was awesome.

Throw mine in a 5gallon bucket then in the boat, battery on bottom. Never any troubles after 2 seasons.

 Re: Ideas for a Higdon Pulsator 2 decoy bag
I found a ammo box at Cabelas for $14 that it just fits in with the battery on the bottom and bilge disconnected. It is a tight fit but it is pretty compact with a nice handle on it too.

 Re: Ideas for a Higdon Pulsator 2 decoy bag
i have three of the duck butt pulsers on hidgeon and two i made. i put mine in a milk crate. two fit perfect in a milk crate with everything and sits in the boat without getting beat up. plus the milk crate works for a pretty good seat in the marsh.

 Re: Ideas for a Higdon Pulsator 2 decoy bag
Buy two more and use a 6-slot decoy bag, alternate battery boxes in one side and butts in other. I've had mine this way for 3 seasons without any problems.
