Flambeau Outdoors SF00845 Feather Flex Decoys Turkey Hen Decoy with Stake

There are much better looking decoys out there, but none as cheap these from Feather Flex Decoys. I needed cheap so that's what I went for.First and foremost, they look like turkeys. The are light-weight for packing in. I don't really understand complaints about the foamy material: it's soft and pliable. It's going to crease and scrunch up. Just "fluff" it up when you set them up and they are fine. They hold their shape however you leave it. I would recommend storing them fully expanded if possible, though.I do find the 2-piece poles annoying. The stake is 2 pieces of plastic sharpened to a point on both ends. It is functional, but has a number of things wrong with it.1) Putting 2 loose poles together takes time and effort. It would be simpler to keep them together with a hinge or shock-cord like tent poles. I have 2 of these decoys so the 4 pole-halves mix and you have to pick the right pair for them to go together.2) Placing the stake into the turkey and finding the grommet to hold the point is fidgety. Takes time which can be precious depending on your situation (and is especially bad when you have 2 or 3 of these to set up).3) In hard ground, putting the pole into the earth can be tough. Since it's plastic it is rather big around for strength. It also has no features on it to help grip it to push it in the ground like some other poles.Again, I think all of the above complaints are due to one thing: low cost. If you want a decoy that is cheap, these are good. If you want high-quality, convenience or something to impress your buddies then you might keep looking.I've only hunted turkeys for 2 years now. If I knew I was going to hunt them regularly for years, I'd choose something nicer. These are good for now, though.

I recently purchased an Aggressive Jake SF00847 and Hen Decoy SF00845 to replace a plastic hen decoy I have been using for the last few years. When the new pair arrived from Amazon, the first thing I did was remove from the package and straighten them out to normal shape. Even though they had been in packages for who knows how long, they went to shape pretty well. I store the decoys unrolled when not in use, so they will retain the natural shape better. Assembly is simple. The first time I hunted with these decoys, my 6 year daughter was with me. She watched me set them up the first time, and the second time, by the time I had the blind set up and ready she handed me the decoys to set out. I thought that was pretty cool. We did not get onto any birds that day, but I am confident these decoys will do the trick. They are super light and roll up fine for carry in the vest, or a backpack with other gear. My blind has a simple nylon bag with straps like a backpack and these 2 decoys fit right in and do not take up any room at all. I am really looking forward to taking them out when I am trying to do more of a run and gun style where I will leave the blind behind and cover more ground. The size and weight should be perfect in my vest.

I had one of these many years ago and loved it - and got years of use out of it! Folds or rolls up easily and stows in a pack or bag, unfolds easily and pops right open. Comes with a nice 2-piece pointed aluminum stake that stows easily inside the decoy for easy transport if desired as well but allows this Hen decoy to spin and move in the breeze allowing it to look even-more realistic.It has worked like a charm for me for years getting my Tom without fail!

Very good likeness. Will work great in the field. The only thing I wish would be different is a permanently attached stick. When it is dark in the morning it is hard to get the sitck and decoy in place without making a bunch of noise. I am going to try and modify mine to make it easier.

very easy setup, moves nice in a breeze. the wrinkles work them sleves out. follow the direction and you will have no worries. says i need 20 more words to submit the review... which seems stupid i cut and pasted the same one as the agressive jake.. oh well.

Has failed to draw In a obbler but it sure looks real st 20 yards.

These decoys work great. They're light weight and collapse together and roll up for compact transport. When deployed they mimic real life movement with the wind. Even in heavy wind conditions they held up. They didn't blow away and there wasn't any extreme wild movements. I used two of these decoys turkey hunting this year in a corner of a field at the edge of the woods. There were a few windy days and these decoys held up great.

This decoy is alright for the money, however you get what you pay for. this decoy is very convenient and compact. Its not realistic looking and if you keep it rolled up to long it will stay all curved and messed up for a while. I would recommend a she mobile rather than this, a little more expensive but worth it.

superb draws in turkeys

Just what I expected
