Just got him in the mail a few days ago, Late Christmas present. Man this thing looks good!! I used real feathers from an Eastern fan, I'm almost afraid to hunt with it. I set him next to my 3/4 strut gobbler mount from last spring (23 lb, 10 inch beard, and 1 1/4 spurs) and he is just about the exact same size. I can tell ya once you get him out of the box, set him on top of the box and heat him with a hair dryer, he will automatically take his original shape. The silk fan that come with the decoy is pretty cheesy, but once you insert feathers from a real fan it looks amazing!! I actually applied secondary feathers to the back of the fan as well as the front.
B Real can be easily assembled and disassembled in the field, He can be rolled up and carried in yer vest, or carried whole in the nice Flo. Orange mesh back pack provided. The back pack would also work great for carrying a Big Ol' Tom out of the woods. Also has a nice sturdy 2 piece metal stake for easy set up.
B Real comes with a DVD with very detailed directions about assembly, as well as set up tips, and several amazing hunts.
The guys at Primos really did their homework on this decoy, and I cannot wait to try himout!! Maybe just not on Public Ground!!!
Thats the down side, They are $69.99 at Rural King, I saw several on E-Bay for $59.99 + shipping. Kinda salty but if it works it'll be well worth the $, especially if you hunt more than 1 bird a year.
