Best portable decoys for the money??

[RutnNStrutn]

I've got a B-mobile that I got on clearance, and I use a real tail on it. Then my hens are Cherokee Sports inflatables, but I use the A-Way Outdoors Turkey Skinz (it's real feathers) and the head is already molded from a real hen.
They're not DSD's or Avians, but my dekes look darned good for a heck of a lot cheaper!!

Right on Tucky,  I've got all the Avain Decoys everyone I've hunted with now own one, they look so real.  The LCD Jake and the Looker hen is a killer combo big ole Tom just can't resist.

Looking hard at these but not sure if these Texas Rios would even know the difference.

Hey Mike: The *best* ones are the ones that work!    My old Feather Flex dekes still "work", so to me they're the best - and they're cheap.  Bought mine a long time ago; for grins, I searched & found 'em on eBay for ~$25 each (avg price)

If you're not sold on using decoys, I'd do like others have suggested - wait until a close-out & get them at the end of the season & use 'em next year -- whichever ones float your boat.  Or find someone locally on Craigslist (or FB garage sale) that's wanting to dump their turkey stuff.

My brother, like you, is a run-n-gun hunter from way back; he got some decoys, and *rarely* ever uses them.

I much prefer runnin' 'n gunnin', but down deep in Dixie, the birds don't play that game as well as up north and out west. They don't gobble as much either. At least to my experiences.

If you are looking for light & packable the Avian X is NOT the decoy you are looking for. Sure they are collapsible, but they are kind of a pain to inflate. I had a jake & a hen. Used them on one hunt & returned them. When inflated the are big...about the size of a beach ball. They are also on the heavy side. I finally broke down & bought a couple DSD's. They are a little smaller & a little lighter and are more life like(to me any way).

If you want light & packable, you can't beat the Featherflex decoys. I used mine for about 10yrs. and killed a lot of birds over them before replacing them with the Avian X's.

If your looking for cheap just go to walmart and pick up there's for $15 each. They will work. These ultra life like decoys are more for us than the turkey's.

I've used the Primos PHD decoy for a couple of seasons now.  I like it and most of all its light and very easy to pack around.  It also is very easy to blow up. 

God Bless

So.....

What's the best bet for a good looking packable jake that'll fit in my vest and I can put out quickly?

I got one of thoughs new avain- x  breeder decoy. The decoys only takes me 1.5 breaths to blow the decoy. I love it. I can see myself using the decoy a lot more when I run and gun

If you want the best, then no further tha Flambeau Outdoor products; their 2014 lineup is the Best I've ever seen; they are as real as it gets for a lot cheaper than most offered.
