Unfortunately as I am a sucker for a good looking over priced decoy this one tempts me. I already own a few of the avian-x's and do not really need another one. Have any of you decoy junkies seen these yet and what do you think about them?

Gobble!

I'm a DSD guy but really like the this decoys posture.

I'm tempted to sell my 1/4 strut and buy the 3/4 I like the posture better

Looks good. I asked the guys from DSD 3 yrs ago, to make one in a breeding posture.
They never did.
This Avian X  3/4 looks like it will be a winner. I may have to try one.
Thanks for posting.

I love the looks of it but the price just kills me for decoys. I picked up one of the HS Strut Jake Snood decoys for a song a few weeks ago. I think they have one of the best postures and color schemes in the industry!

That 3/4 strut jake looks pretty sweet. One thing I always liked about the 1/2 strut jake was that the head was exposed over the back of the decoy, displaying that red head to all angles... the new jake appears to have more of a tucked, dropped head.... Ill probably still have to have one though

Looks good. I think they're trying to make the pose more like the DSD Jake.

Have had unbelievable success with my DSD Jake!!

Can't see how it wouldn't work, just not a fan of Avian-X Decoys...

The only thing they haven't "made" is their version of DSD's Leading Hen decoy but that is probably next year's release.

I believe that decoy use during turkey hunting is a personal choice.  I personally do not have an issue using them and am not above using them, but would rather hunt without.  Although the interaction is a bit different with a decoy.

However, the "if it is legal, then it is OK" argument does not fly with me.  Legal, by no means equates to ethical, and as hunters, we must stand as stewards of the sport.
Did I do that?

Fly fishermen are born honest, but they get over it.
