What our reviewers liked and didn't
LCD Quarter Strut Jake
- Realistic quarter-strut posture effectively draws dominant gobblers
- Durable, flexible material holds up well to field use
- Exceptional paint detail and realism fools wary birds
- Less prone to spooking cautious turkeys than a full strutter
- Good balance of portability and realistic size
- Not the lightest option for long, strenuous hikes
- May require minor disassembly for optimal packing
- Higher initial cost than basic foam decoys
Mating Motion Hen
- Unmatched realism in feather detail and coloration
- Soft, quiet, shot-proof material construction
- Incredibly effective at drawing in dominant gobblers
- Excellent durability and weather resistance
- Subtle, natural motion from wind-activated stake
- Significantly heavier and bulkier than most decoys
- Premium price point, not a budget option
- Requires careful transport; not ideal for run-and-gun
