I got a great deal - $25 - on this HS Strut jake decoy last year thru a facebook promotion.
Didn't like the looks, so we gave him a facelift. We're gonna do some more painting eventually but he'll do for now

This is what it looked like out of the box



After "facelift" ... We call him the ''Hybrid''



With optional tail fan that we added



Head on

Jakes are like scotch. They are not worth a darn until they age.

did you paint the existing head or attach a new one? I have a caped out turkey and have been thinking about one of these years building my own stuffer decoy in half strut just for fun but never carved out the time. You did a really good job on this one with the decoy mods!  :turkey2:

We replaced the head with a molded replica from an inflatable deke.
I wish we could paint that good!

Looks awesome.. Did you notch out the back of the deek so that fan fits?

I saw a guy this weekend that had that same gobbler head with a long set of bristles slipped over his trailer ball on his truck.  ;D

Glued a small steel rod onto the tail fan and drilled a hole in the decoy

I think he's going to fool around and get the soup beat out of himself. 

Looks great! :drool:

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.
