Re: Decoys: General discussion thread
I agree about the Avian X decoys. I have an Avian X feeding hen (this is my 3rd year using it) and I just bought the Avian X Jake this year before VA youth day and I am blown away with the good reaction I've seen to both. I don't use decoys a lot, but 3 of the birds we've killed so far this year were killed using the hen/jake combo and the turkeys were totally fooled by them. This past Saturday in PA I took my 73 year old Mom and called in 2 longbeards and 3 hens (my 14 yr old son helped me call them in...how about that for cool...calling in a turkey for your Grandma
) and when the gobblers came in they attacked the jake. I finally told her to shoot before they ruined my $100 jake.
LOL
I agree they are bulky (I leave them blown up as well) but its worth it if you want to use a realistic decoy. I can't say enough good things about them; sounds like others agree.
