The Best Strutting Turkey Decoys

The spring turkey season is a special time of year, with the leaves changing and the snow melting. A gobbling tom can make the hair stand up on the back of your neck. Setting up decoys has become an art form, and manufacturers continue to improve the appearance of the decoys. For years, hunters would simply use hen decoys and an occasional jake. Recently, full strut turkey decoys have become more popular and have proven to be an effective tool for harvesting mature turkeys.

Primos B-Mobile
The B-Mobile (short for Bob-Mobile) full strut decoy from Primos is loaded with features. It is easy and safe to transport in the field with the orange carry bag. A fan holder comes with a silk fan but can be transferred to a real one if you choose. B-Mobile is compact and folds up easily but still offers a quick setup with the sturdy metal stake.

Carry-Lite Pretty Boy
Carry-Lite has introduced a perfect combination for the turkey hunter, a pair of decoys that complement each other called Pretty Boy and Pretty Girl. The Pretty Boy is a full strut tom that comes with an artificial fan but has instructions on how to preserve and install your own. Simple setup and transportation with the carry bag make it possible to move where the birds are. Pretty Boy is constructed of polyethylene that forms easily and will not fade or lose detail.

Montana Decoy Tom Turkey
If you are looking for a compact and realistic turkey decoy, then check out the Struttin' Tom Turkey by Montana Decoy. Folded size is 10 inches by 10 inches by 2 inches and opens to 27 by 26 for a genuine look for approaching turkeys. The photographic image on the front of the decoy challenges dominant birds and forces stubborn toms to leave their hens and investigate your decoy. A spring-tension frame allows for easy setup and simple take-down. It includes a fiberglass pole and can be paired with other hen decoys from Montana to create the appearance of a flock.
