Title: Decoy for real turkey fan
Post by: ILHUNTER on February 17, 2016, 12:30:15 PM
I current have 3 avian x decoys, breeder hen, feeder hen and jake quarter strut.  I have a real jake fan that I would like to use on a decoy. What decoy do you recommend using to attach a real turkey fan to?

My buddy has a B-mobile I think. Check into that. He likes it.He shot a gobbler off the top of it with his bow.

This works amazingly well!

(yup added an edit)
There is a definite skill set to hunting with a Strutter, mine has been "modified" (not pictured) and one needs to learn how to hunt it "right" but I have well over 175 birds with mine and everything from Jakes to the Boss of the Timber!

You will kill just as many turkeys if you leave that fan at home..and just use what you have in my opinion. If you get anything, get another hen decoy. I've saw full strut decoys run a lot of gobblers off..Sometime a two year old gobbler will shy away from a 3/4 strut decoy..

Thanks for the info guys, just wanting to try something different, I'm planning on using a jake fan so hopefully the gobblers will get pissed instead of shy away, and come in and attack it.

I think Primos Killer B is appropriate size.  One of the reasonings behind its creation was that it had a smaller body size to look less intimidating

Had the b-mobile for several years. Thinks it's been used maybe twice. Don't like to carr it around and when I go hunting with my buddy, we cover entirely too much ground to make it practical. It's not bad here because I'm not walking much distance but being that were a rifle state, I'm a bit concerned about the possibility of getting shot. Had a guy trespass on the ground that I'm the only one with permission to hunt last year. He was carrying a 25-06. Again, I'm not against rifles by any means but it does raise the fear factor.
