How to Choose a Turkey Decoy
For many hunters, use of decoys is a highly effective means of killing their game bird. With the use of both a turkey call and a turkey decoy, you can bring in dominant toms looking for mating hens.
Look for decoys that come with an authentic design. The best ones have true-to-life body posture. When seeking toms, it's often good to choose a decoy with an exposed bottom and dropped wings, for example.
Coloring is key too. Feather details should precisely mimic real turkeys. Some decoys even come with a faux-feather covering to better match the texture of your game bird. Flake-resistant paint stands up to the elements to last season after season.
While some hunters prefer the realistic look of solid decoys, others like the lightweight portability of collapsible birds. Inflatable decoys can be especially convenient. If you are carrying a solid turkey decoy, be sure to transport it in a blaze-orange game bag for safety purposes.
