Was a bit bored after work one afternoon and took the DSD's out around the pasture for a couple of pics. They came out with a new hen this spring called the posturing hen. She's the one in the first photo.
Couldn't find any birds to get them in front of this year, but hopefully next spring I'll be able to see how a longbeard or two reacts to em

All together
Works of art. I love my Jake DSD.

How have birds reacted overall to yours lunghit?
I just got my jake last year but he hasn't had any bird encounters yet
The toms will go to it first. I usually have a cheap collapsible hen decoy but they do go for the Jake. Here I have a cell phone video clip of a tom that actually chest bumped mine. I shot a different one a few minutes before he attacked it. The last pic is another tom that the DSD lured in the very first time I used it.

That's awesome. I'm hoping for similar results with this posturing one. He's on the heavy side though, I need to figure out a good carrying system for him and the hens
That's by far the biggest drawback. They are big and bulky but I do enjoy using them.
