Turkey decoys
 

Looking for opinions on the best decoys.

I need something that packs into a small package but sets up easily and springs back into form. Reasonably priced.

scoob- the feather-flex decoys are light, and fold up flat. chack em out.

I' m using the Sceery inflatables and love them. Just for the reasons that you stated. When deflated they ball up about the size of a baseball. Since they blow up you don' t get that nice smashed been worn in a vest too long look. The stake is made of a hard plastic with a sharp point and it goes into the ground easy. Also the stake has a female notch in it and the reciver which slides under the turkey has a male notch, this keeps the deke from spinning in the wind, it can only move 90 degrees. Of course some one will say what if you shoot them... I always tell them that I shoot the real bird :D Even if you do, Mr. Sceery has put patches in all the deke boxes for a just in case.

if you go for inflatables, be careful as some can have a shine to the finish. it looks unatural imo. sceereys are more dull and you can get the first generation from cabelas cheap

I would have to second the Feather Flex decoys for ease of portability and setup.

Just my two scents, I don' t like inflatable decoys. They are very shiney, and they take much longer to set up because you have to inflate them. And if you locate a gobbler close and need to set up quick you may be in trouble. I would recomend the decoys that open with the stake (works like an umbrella). I think buckwing makes some of the better decoys.

Hunt without decoys. It will. make a better hunter out of ya!But If u just have 2 use decoys, go with Feather Flex.

RE: Turkey decoys
 

Hidden valley inflatables are by far the best (my opinion....lol). You can get them in Cabelas. They have no shine and are VERY realistic.

I do not use decoys.
be very carefull when useing decoys. a couple years ago,I had my decoy shot by a hunter with a rifle.
I hollered at him and never saw him,I guess he sat real still or slipped away.

Scoob,no question for filming and bow hunting decoys are the ticket,but my personal preference is i leave em for someone else to buy!I also am on lets just say numerous successful set-ups in a given season working for a succesful guiding operation, and when our birds come into a set-up theres no need to keep them hanging around they either walk away or pay the price!!Sure I' ve used dekes many times and seen them work,but have had much more success putting more emphasis on my over-all set-up and directing my efforts elsewhere than putting my confidence in a deke!For many a deke is a confidence factor and thats there main reason for using one and more power to them!!But I can assure you,saving your money is not a bad idea because it can be done without the aid of a deke! IMHOBob;)

I just got a hen and jake pair made by Buckwing. They have the collapsible umbrella inside. They look real nice, but are real shiny. I may GENTLY try to dull them a touch, with some really fine 0000 steel wool, and go along the texture and pattern of the feathers.
