The best, a mounted bird. However that's more than I'm willing to invest, I have been using a Primos hen, I may pick up a Jake Mobile, we'll see.

Floozie decoys. They are a little pricey however it's all about what you feel confident using. I have seen decoys that look like an old sock on a stick and the birds come racing right in,then on the other hand I have seen birds stop dead at first site and beat feet out of there.

In my opinion, Dave Smith Decoys are some of the best, most realistic looking decoys on the market today.

I went to Bass pro yesterday and saw an item I believe it wrapped over the decoy called turkey skins I think. From the looks it gave real feather detail to the decoy. Anybody use these?

I hunt over three DSD's (2 hens and a Jake). Made in the USA.
I always thought the turkey skins looked like a bird that had been through a tornado, but a buddy in Illinois had great luck with them last spring.

I gotta agree with Gobblerstopper, the DSD are the most life like decoys out there. Kinda pricey though.

I have the Primos killer B I bought last year. I have a swingin hen and just bought last week a She Mobile. The shemobiles with the newer paint schemes looks alot better than they did before. She doesn't completely match my swingin hen now though but I'm sure everything will be fine. Sure enough though while I was waiting for my she mobile to come in the mail, I noticed that Zink is now making decoys and their hen decoy looks AMAZING. Granted it cost 3 times as much but I would of definetly considered buying it but I guess my killer b and his harem will have to work this year.
On another note, DSD is coming out with a full strutter this year so if you are considering getting one you better save your fans and wings from this year. I can't wait for the pics!

I did a little research on those new Zink hen dekes. I guess they are made out of a hard rubber and apparently need to be inflated with a bike pump or something ridiculous like that. If true that would turn off about 99% of their customer base. I've heard that those digital printed inflateables work pretty good but I don't think I would ever buy any of them for the fear of them fading and especially getting popped or something. Just my thoughts...

The Zinks are inflatable, but do not need an air pump. About 20 breaths into it. It is hard rubber and very heavy. Still made in China and won't take a stray pellet.
There's a video on YouTube inflating the decoy
