You sure it wasn't run over by a compactor? Guess is early to mid 80's

If it ain't 80's it's a new "value" decoy.

I hear ya MK M GOBL, I'd date that hen if I was a gobbler, she's kinda plain but there's just something about her timeless beauty.... :funnyturkey:

That stake says it may be more into the mid 90s on the deke?   Maybe a Flambeau or Delta.

I had one and used to use it. All I know is it never worked. Not trying to hate on it or hijack a post, just stating a fact.

I was at a gas station that used to have a small sporting goods section and it was on the wall.  Got it for next to nothing.  My guess would be early 90's model.  We have come along way since then for sure!

Would have to say mid-80s. Personally, I would not want to date her, but I am sure there are some lonely gobblers out there that would!!!

Early 80's, I shot a dominant hen strutting beside one when I was 13.

Regardless , it's a good collectors item...old turkey stuff is getting hard to find..   I still have one of the first turkey decoys Primos came out with and after a while the paint would peal off...  It has a few shot holes and tears but it's a keeper for sure...

I would love to see that one.  I am assuming it is prior to the She-Mobile?
