Avian turkey decoys

Ladies & Gentlemen:

I purchased some of these for use in spring gobbler hunting. I have to tell you that these are the most realistic looking decoys I have ever seen. Perhaps more importantly, it appears that virtually every gobbler that sees these cannot take it. They want to pound the hell out of the jake decoy. It is extremely interesting. One was shot AFTER it tried to beat the hell out of the decoy, then jumped up on top of it and was standing on it!

You might want to give these a try. They are expensive but well worth it.

Larry, I bought mine at the NWTF convention last month and will put them to the test soon. We open Saturday. I agree, they look great.

"Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading" - Thomas Jefferson

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......

"If you're being chased by a Lion, you don't have to be faster than the Lion, you just have to be faster than the person next to you."

I picked up a Jake and the Feeder hen couple of weeks ago. They are the best looking turkey decoys I have ever seen.

Absolutely.

Down here, the Osceola's can't stand that jake for some reason. Every single one that sees it want to beat the hell out of it. It is quite amazing to see.

I have had other decoys that gobblers wanted to hammer from time to time. With these it has been every single time.

Good luck.

Video: Jakes beating up Avian X

This is video I took last year on the first morning I used the Avian-X decoy. I bought another for this year.
