Have had great luck using my buddie's and just recieved my own a couple days ago. Just be careful where you set up. We set up about 40 yards off of a side road that is rarely traveled and one of those road hunting sobs came down the road and thought that it was real. He told his passenger, "There he is!!," and stuck out his gun and pulled a bead on our prettyboy. I had to yell "DON'T SHOOT" and he looked around and peeled out. He still didn't know what to think. But that just goes to show how realistic they are. You won't be disappointed.

I have seen mixed results with the pretty boy. It is really big and sometimes the birds area little leery of it. It is also hard to pack. The B-mobile is a little smaller and definitely easier to pack but I dont think it looks as good. I have had better luck with B-mobile though. I just got an Ol'Tom cassanova and it looks very good. It is still a little big (smaller than pretty boy but not much) it looks better than either and it packs better than pretty boy but not as good as B-mobile. I'll post a report on here when I get some field work with it but I really think I am going to like this one. The paint and eyes on it look great.

I Have A B-mobile That I Bought Last Year And It Paid For It's Self The Second Time Out. 1st Sunday Of The Season I Took My Son That Afternoon. Called A Tom Up And When He Saw George As We Call It The Old Tom Got The Mean Walk And Faced Off With The Decoy. My Son Shot Him At 14 Yards. This Year I Will Use George Plus I Bought A Turkey Skin From Away Outdoors I, Placed It On A Hen Decoy Which I'm Going To Put In A Breading Position With George (b-mobile) Behind It. I Think With The Real Feathers On The Hean And A Full Sturt Tom I Could Be Able To Stick A Arrow In One. Good Hunting.

I dont know about you guys but i just dont like packing all that stuff in the woods. All i take is a bottle of water and a good seat my gun and some calls. I would get a Bmobile if they were about $20 cheaper.

I don't take decoys with me unless I have somebody inexperienced like a child with me or if I am going to try and stick one with a bow. I still sometimes don't take them with a bow and just spot and stalk and try to get drawn. They are nice if you have kids or are sitting in a blind though. I also have the Away skin and have used it on 3 hunts in FL already this year. I called 2 birds up to 5 yds with it out and one to 10 yds that I killed with my bow. I am not sure that they wouldn't have come anyway but they were not scared and I think it helped. i think the skin with a decoy with a realistic head and eyes like the buckwing or the new Ol'tom would be a deadly combination and a lot cheaper than a stuffer.

They work pretty good but they are so big to pack around. If you got alot of walking to do it is hard to get around the packing that thing....dont get me wrong they look as real as it gets but I usually just throw one hen in my pack and never even use it.
