That thing would get abused around here. What base decoy did you use?

It started as a Carry Lite Pretty Boy.  My only worry is that the wings and fan will get shredded pretty quickly.  I guess that just means it worked!

I'll try and post up a picture of it in action with an Avian X hen or two.  Our season starts 3 weeks from today.

Looks good but I have better luck with a jake getting beat up then a big tom IMHO.

I have the same strutter decoy as a jake and he really gets beat up every year. I use avian hens decoys also there awesome, won't be long good luck!

Sweet! I'm scared to try them around here. Rifles aren't legal in NY, but I guess nobody's mentioned that to a lot of the guys here. I get nervous using a hen decoy. Hens aren't legal in the spring, but again, some of the people around here don't seem to care about that either. I hunt a lot around the fields by my house, and every time I see somebody pull over to check the birds out, I want to crawl in a hole. There's places that due to the roll of the ground can't be seen from the road, but I don't dare drop my guard. It adds a little more spice to the hunt than I care for. Nice job on the decoy, hunt safe.
