What our reviewers liked and didn't
Mating Motion Hen

- 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
Purrfect Pair XD
- Unmatched packability for easy transport
- High-definition photo realism fools wary birds
- Instant pop-up deployment and quick takedown
- Lightweight, adds minimal burden to your load
- Proven hen and jake setup for calling in toms
- Less 3D volume compared to foam or hard plastic decoys
- May require more careful placement to hide stakes
- Can be susceptible to strong winds without additional anchoring
