I am from Iowa, and yes the decoy folds up just like any other buckwing turkey decoy. The only thing is they all get them darn creases in them. So i never fold mine up, i just pack them all like they are. I took one of my old ones and tried a lttle experment. You know that yellow stuff in a can called greatstuff. I filled my decoy with it and it is basically a soild decoy, i really like it but it can be a pain to carry.
