Was gonna get one last year, but couldnt find one anywhere. So before this season starts im thinking of buying one since ive heard good things about them. Has anyone had any experience with this decoy?

Thanks

I love mine! I bought the combo that came with the She-Mobile, and Swing'n Hen. He looks good, the fan doesn't look that bad. It is a little fragile though, I broke 2 supports and ripped the fan, which was my fault. I did contact Primos, and they are sending me a new fan, for the shipping price. I like it, it helped me drop 2 birds. Also be careful of the beard, it helps to better attach it with tape. Probably sounds like I am throwing out a lot of cons, but it is a good looking decoy, and Primos has amazing customer service.

I have had some expriences with different strutting decoys. The Primos Jake Mobile is a decent decoy but the Carry lite Pretty Boy decoy seems to be constructed better just my 2 cents.

I bought one last year and I love it. With the jake mobile gobblers aren't very intimidated and will come in. I would say buy it and have fun watching gobblers attacking it. They did mine.

As someone mentioned above, there are MUCH better strutters available for pretty much the same money.

I like the Pretty Boy much better and especialy the newer Pretty Boy Peepin' Tom. It not only looks a LOT more realistic but the multiple heads really make the decoy a lot more versatile.

Here's my PB Peepin' Tom with the single upright head.

Isn't the Pretty Boy a hard decoy, it won't roll up?

Dont tom decoys normally make other toms leary of coming in? It seems thats whats happened to me ever since my first year of turkey hunting. Maybe i didnt give it a chance?

My buddy bought one last year and he has some awesome footage of his son killing a nice tom off it in the MO youth season. We took it to NE on a bow hunt and those birds loved it. We shot 3 toms off that decoy in about 4 hours.
