what decoy to get?

[buckrubboy]

I think i might get a turkey decoy. What one should I get? Should i have a hen and a gobbler?

[Arrowmaster]

Feather flex or flambeau is what I use...

I use a Delta and Feather Flex both seem very lifelike an seem to work fine...

Start with a " love triangle set " ... thats one feeding hen , one standing / alert hen and one jake decoy.
When using this set place the two hen's on each side of you and place the jake about 10 to 15 yards in front facing you.

Get what looks most realistic. Therefore, get that bobble head one. I cant remember the brand, but i got one a few years ago and with a little breeze, its definetly the best looking decoy out there.

More and more people are going with the real mounted birds, but they are expensive.

I have an old foam decoy full of pellet holes... which speaks to its effectiveness.

Also use a Widowmaker and a B-Mobile from time to time. Thinking about a bobble head, but most of them on displays in the stores don't bobble!

The Primos swinging hen only goes from side to side.. I want an up and down motion!

It really doesn't matter. They will all work at times and at times none will work. That being said, you don't have to spend an arm and a leg for a decoy(s). I use one or two feather flex hens and they do just fine and they cost me around $25 for both. I hunt without dekes more than I hunt with them though. If you want to spend the extra dollar for the fancy dekes, go ahead, but you don't need a $50 to $400 decoy to kill a turkey.

I like the B-Mobile and a hen decoy
