I've been turkey hunting for most of my life and used my fair share of decoys. As with most products, time allows for great strides in development and refinement. The Zink Avian-X LCD decoys are stunning! I also purchased the "looker" and "feeder" hens to complement this outstanding "strutter" decoy. These decoys are incredibly life-like. The texture of each decoy is what I would describe as "layered." The paint scheme is also next to none, as it produces iridescent detail like real turkey feathers. Furthermore, I initially thought it would be a pain to inflate these decoys, but NOT SO! Several strong breaths of air did the job in nothing flat!The decoy stakes are also very innovative. They remind me of carbon fiber arrows, and are also about the same thickness. Since the stakes fold in half, they should be very easy to carry to/from your next set-up location. Additionally, these stakes are semi-pointed, so they pierce the ground much easier than many others that I have tried and used (that are greater in diameter).I currently have all 3 decoys staked in the back yard to allow the warm sun to remove any minor creases that were evident after removing the decoys from their shipping containers. At the same time, I am also testing the decoys for the amount of "spinning" that occurs when the wind speed increases. I have already discovered how to control their movement by placing a small amount of duct tape on the end of each stake before inserting it into the decoy. It turned out to be an easy solution.Finally, if you want the ultimate in realism for your Avian Strutter, you MUST add a REAL tail fan to complete this amazing impostor. Although this decoy comes with an artificial fabric-type fan, nothing is better than a real turkey fan. Do not fret, however, if you do not currently have a real tail fan. Just simply use the fan that comes with your new decoy, and replace it with the real deal after you harvest your first longbeard this year. One last thing: Do not let the price scare you off if you decide to purchase the whole spread like I did. I had to look outside a few minutes ago just to make sure my new decoys did not walk or fly away!

LOVE this decoy. I use a real fan from a previous harvest. Super easy setup, and goes right back into the carrying bag when you pack up. The stake could be a little more sturdy, however the way it is designed the Tom will rotate, bob, and move with any wind/breeze while you are hunting. I am glad I used it on private ground, because the appearance and movements were so realistic and lifelike, I'm sure it would have been shot at on public land! I used it in combination with 2 other hens, and had toms and (rather stupidly brave) jakes alike run in at first glance. 100% happy with it!!

Love it

Beautiful, realistic looking decoy. Did have trouble blowing it up as the decoy was so compressed i had to use a bicycle pump to get it to begin blowing up. After that it blew up easily with my mouth. Woodbury Outfitters, the company I bought it thru from Amazon has amazing customer service. Even called me on the weekend to ensure it was working out for me!! What company calls on a Sunday to ensure your happy with your purchase? Woodbury Outfitters!! Thank you Zach for all your help!!

I ordered this item because I like Avian X products. the product contents showed that it came with the decoy, Stake, storage bag and tail fin. when the product arrived it was open inside of the regular shipping box. the only think located in the bag was the decoy and fin. I had to order replacement stakes to use the decoy and find a bag to store it in for travel.The product is great, I just wish they would have shipped all the items I ordered. I could have returned the items and missed the Turkey season. I decided to replace the missing parts.
