Best Decoys

[vividky]

Just curious what manufacter are ya'll using...Pro's / Con's to each.

There's a good question. Can't remember the brands so I'll have to look, but I have one hen in the feeding position that is a foam decoy.

Pros = lightweight, can fold up real small and put in pocket, good motion in the wind
Cons = gets folded too much and can get distorted so it doesn't look realistic anymore, paint fades

I also have a hen and a jake that are more a molded plastic

Pros = more realistic looking, retain shape better
Cons = more bulky, not much movement with wind

I'll look into exact brands though.

I'm sold on Deltas. Have used the foam brands, but the rubber material of the Delats holds its colors and shape much better.

I found some Deltas that have a valve to blow up. Gottem on ebay in Jan for $9.00. They keep they're shape perfectly, no broken neck look!!!

Flambeau's new Master series are the most reailistic looking thing on the market, they're my choice.

I really like the Deltas. You can fold them up and put in your vest, then when ready to hunt, you can unfold, plug the hole in the tail with you finger then blow in the decoy stake hole, and they look perfect. I had a big gobbler circle mine last year for 10 solid minutes.

Those things are beauties!! You can see them at wal-mart. It would be hard to tell the difference from that to a real turkey at 75+ yards!!

My favorite decoys are the Feather Flex decoys.They have been very effective on my hunts and are not too pricey. I recently caught a steal on the "Love Triangle" which included a PJ, AJ, and 3 position hen. Very good calls that hold up well over the seasons.

Callgirl decoys (by cherokee sports) is what i use...they are the inflatables very realistic mine have been shot..but since they are made out of pvc a dab of pvc glue and your back in bizz..i seen where some guy had a picture of a bobcat trying to snatch his decoy he was also using call girls

[billkay]

Nothing but Renzos for this guy. Photo realistic, light, instant set-up.

I've always thought inflatable ones would be nice, but I also always thought I would pop a hole in them, anyone had any problems with them?

[RutNBuck]

Sixpack
mines made from pvc so a dab of glue and your back in bizz and they also have a foam pad inside so that would also keep they looking like a decoy but wouldnt be 3D

[SixPack07]

OK, thanks! Maybe I'll have to try one out sometime. I just thought with all the crawling around that maybe they would get beat up a little easier, but I suppose you could stick them some place safe since they would fold up to basically nothing.

Those callgirl decoys and the others are AWESOME!! I could see where they look realistic, theyre basically real turkeys full of air, lol! I might have to buy me one of them. The only decoy there i didnt like was the strutting tom. His body looked a little bit abnormal... lol. All are still great decoys!
