Dang that is a sweet decoy :drool: I would be afraid of him getting stalked and blasted on public ground  :o I have seen people stalk foam decoys that look like crap. That this is very realistic looking.

That is the best looking decoy I have seen, has anyone seen one in person to know if it looks as good as on the video?

So you hike in to a fly down spot, great, but the turkeys go the other way? :bash: Now you have this big ass decoy to pack or hide so you can hunt. Yeah it's a great looking decoy and it works great, but it's not a user friendly decoy. Strike a gobble then you have to set it up for a hot tom coming. :bdid:
I've used this one, blows up real quick and the toms come to it as soon as they see it. I was in on 5 big toms killed last year using this decoy. And it's only 30 bucks  http://www.gandermountain.com/modperl/product/details.cgi?i=420445&pdesc=Cherokee_Sports_Billy_Bad_Act_II_Turkey_Decoy&str=turkey+decoy&merchID=4005

The blow up decoys are compact for sure.   This decoy is collapsible to acan be taken in a carying bag.  Fan comes off.  Here are some more details off of thier website.

Add a real tail fan and fore wings (not provided) for added realism and to convert him from Tom to Jake and back for any huntng situation. A strutter can be just the ticket for stubborn, decoy-shy Toms. Use him alone or with other DSD models, or even with one or two other DSD strutters for the ultimate in realism!
* legendary A.C.E. durability and paint adhesion

* modest size (18" tall, 15" wide, 15" beak to tail)

Yeah I was hoping to show the quality of the workmanship.  I really like Dave Smith hen decoys too! 

There are lots of decoys out there.  I use my stuffer hen and it works the best I have ever seen.  I own lots of decoys.  I like the looks of Zinks new decoys too.  I don't like the blow up decoys cause of the shine.   :twocents:

I found a video of the ones PA BEN recommends.

I've used Dave Smith goose decoys and they are the best. I have use decoys that I attach a fan and wings to. It's a pane in the a$$ to pack a fan and wings. But that's me, to each there own.
