Have you used it and if you have did the turkeys act any diffrent than with a cheap decoy??

I used one last season. I hunted in several states and with only one season, it's tough to make a determination of how good it really is. Here's what I found. If agroup of hens and gobblers are coming in, the gobbers seem to come in first to challenge B-Mobile. If it'sa lone tom, they seem to hang, or not come in at all. I think they work, but just like everything else, in the right situation.

I agree with the prior post, about any decoy will work on the right bird. I tried the B-mobile and found the thing to be too large and cumbersome to carry around through the woods of WV. I basically carry a single Buckwing hen and on occasion birds run to it and other birds hang up. I guess that's turkey hunting.

I used B-mobile last season. I thought the decoy worked good in different situations. Most gobblers, thought, didn't want anything to do with it. I thought is scared the majority of them away. I think the the decoy looks realistic, but I think it needs a bigger body look. I also think it is a must to use a real fan.

I disagree. I use the fake fan and I had turkeys come in to it. Plus i use a real fan and i didn't like it. After the first couple of times of using it the tips of the fans got beat up and it didn't look very good. Just my 2 cents.

i started using strutting decoys this last season and i am hooked. i have a jake i altered with a real fan and a pair of real wings dragging the ground. guys i film with also have b-mobile. in my experience, mature birds will come RUNNING to challenge it. i did not have a single bird hang up last season that saw it. we got 6 or 7 toms off them and it is awesome to see them attack one.

I dont have the money to buy those expensive decoys. So I use the cheap ones, and they work fine. I also test my decoys and calls on my domestic turkeys at my farm. I have found that the cheap decoys work just as good, for me.

I love it. I have never had them hang up. Every bird I called in came running.
