I've always enjoyed using decoys when turkey hunting although there can be various problems depending on the type you use. There are many makes and models including metal, plastic, rubber, blow up, foam, mechanical, the list goes on and on. The type I've been using the past ten or so years are the soft foam fold up type. They are pretty good, but I have a few issues with them. They can be a problem trying to fit into a turkey vest or jacket pocket. I have to place the folded decoy into the game pouch on the back of the vest in turn making it difficult to get out unless you take the vest off. These decoys also have a tendency to deform a bit when folded mkaing them loose that realistic look. Also, the stakes that come with these decoys are usually two piece aluminum with a plastic insert on the ends that I eventually loose at some point when pulling them out of the ground. Then I find myself trying to dig down into the hole left by the stake to find the missing piece. They can also be a chore to try and push into hard ground. Overall, the drawbacks listed may not matter to others, they are reason for me not to carry them unless I'm hunting a place that has easy access and I'll be set-up in one spot most of the hunt. At the recent NWTF Convention, I saw some decoys that I just had to have. They appeared to be the perfect decoy. I spoke with Jerry at Montana Decoy and he hooked me up with a flock which consists of a Tom, Upright Hen, Feeding Hen & a Semi-Feeding Hen. I couldn't wait to get home to review these decoys. When I got home I immediatly opened the packages to see if they were as easy to use and carry as they appeared to be. A first glance: As you can see from the photo above these decoys are small enough to fit into a vest or jacket pocket. Once removed they are ready for use in about 10 seconds. When your ready to pick up and go, they break down in about 30 seconds.
