Decoys
Hi everybody
I was wondering what kind of decoys you all like , with so many brands on the market . Which one do you think looks more realistic and life like to you. I have a LifeLite Bobble Head feeding hen and a set of FeatherFlex decoys. Has anyone used theBuckWing Bobb'n Head Breeding Pair and finally what do you think about those inflatable's. |
RE: Decoys
I was thinking of getting some new blow-ups....then I got a mounted hen.....
If you can swing it at all get a mounted hen, its unreal. I had one done at a local taxidermy friend, he did it for a lot less than Hazel Creek! |
RE: Decoys
ive heard too many great things about pretty boy decoys to resist. im picking up a pair before this spring and ill tell ya just how much i like em after may.i have a prohunter hen i really like right now. mounted is obviously the most realistic, but most expensive and dont last but a few seasons because wear and tear and abuse from the toms! lol

RE: Decoys
I ran the gamut over the years in decoys!! Just about tried every make except the sillhouette variety. Delta, Feather-Flex, Carry-Lite, and Buckwing all have some good decoys, but some do stand head and shoulders over the rest. Feather-Flex doesn't have too much detail, but they are very light in weight. Delta is an awesome looking brand with very nice detail, my current brand of choice. Buckwing is way too shiney for my tastes, and that dang Bobble head and stake can be a real pain. Carry-Lite use to be my "go-to" brand, but they have come out with very dark colored decoys of late, and I'd have to pass on those.
One neat looking brand I recently seen on the net is by a company called "hardcoredecoys". These have to be the best looking decoys I have ever seen!!Click the link below to check out this new brand!! I may just have to up-grade to these this comming season!!;) http://www.hardcoredecoys.com/decoys/turkeys.php |
RE: Decoys
inflatables are crap as far as detail goes IMO. id stick with a collapsable, or hard plastic detailed decoy, or if possible get a mounted hen as said above.

ORIGINAL: RDHunter Hey maytom those hardcore decoys look really cool , you would know how they are would you ? RD, I think I'll be getting some of those hardcore deeks before this comming spring season. I'll let you know how they do during the actual turkey season. I do have to admit, they do look mighty awesome!! Another thing to mention is a decoy bag. Midwest sells them by a company called AW. Be sure to get the Super magnum bag, it will hold three of the larger decoys very nicely.;)  |
RE: Decoys
I started to use mounted birds last spring. I used a strutting jake with awesome results. Check out the pic below. That osceola ripped his tail off. I will have a mounted hen for this spring. The downside is hauling everything. If you hunt in the midwest its pretty easy. If you hunt the mountains in the northeastgoodluck. When I mountain hunt I leave them at home.I did use the blowup ones also. i had success with them but they just look to slick to me.

RE: Decoys
I use the Delta decoys and them seem to work pretty well. I have several gobblers run right up to them from a hundred to two hundred yards away when I set them up on the edge of a wheat field right up next to a tree line.

RE: Decoys
I've always used feather flex and have done real well. They are wearing out now so maybe I'll check out the Hardcore decoys. They look great.
|
RE: Decoys
what do you guys think about the B-mobile decoy...I was thinking about getting it for this season
|
RE: Decoys
I use the Deltas they have on sale at Dicks about this time of year. I ussually get pissed and shoot one so I have to buy extras.... to count, I think I've shot 4 decoys for different reasons...

RE: Decoys
I can't say D*cks?

RE: Decoys
Those hardcore decoys should be good, they cost $100 at Bass Pro.
|
RE: Decoys
What ... you gotta be kidding me right , a hundred dollars for one of those or how many do you get for that kind of money.
|
RE: Decoys
I went to Bass pro .com last night and one decoy was $99.99. I'll pass and keepy feather flex. They work great besides I depend on my calling the most.

The tom comes with a lifelike artificial fan tail or you can use your own real fan tail. This product was even tested and endorsed by David Hale and Harold Knight. I also like the LifeLite Bobb'n Head Breeding Pair from BuckWing . It has a jake and hen in the breeding position and the color and detail looks real good. The heads will move with the slightest breeze , not bad for only $35.99 |
RE: Decoys
i agree rd, wayyyyy to expensive for one hen decoy.
|
RE: Decoys
You know if leave 1/2 of your stake off you can create your own mounting pair. Here is what I do. I use 3 decoys, one henstands all alone, the other hen uses only 1/2 the stake and is close to the ground, I place my jake right on top of her with the full stake. It works well.

RE: Decoys
Feather Flex all the way. Their weight and convenence is hard to beat. The bird is dead before they know any better.
