The Avian X LCD Feeder Hen Turkey Decoy delivers lifelike realism that brings gobblers into close range during spring hunting seasons. This feeding hen posture triggers the protective instincts of dominant toms while appearing non-threatening to subordinate birds. The multi-color paint scheme replicates natural hen plumage variations found across different regions.
What Makes This Different
The LCD (Lifelike Collapsible Decoy) construction combines lightweight portability with exceptional durability in field conditions. Unlike rigid foam decoys that crack under pressure, the Dura-Rubber material flexes and returns to original shape after impact. The feeding posture represents a relaxed, non-alert hen that reduces wariness in approaching gobblers compared to upright alert positions.
Key Features
- Dura-Rubber construction resists cracking and maintains flexibility in cold weather
- Feeding hen posture creates natural, non-threatening appearance
- Multi-color paint scheme matches regional hen variations
- Collapsible design reduces pack volume for easier transport
- Lightweight construction minimizes carry weight on long walks
- Realistic head and body proportions scaled to live hen dimensions
- Matte finish eliminates unnatural shine that spooks birds
Field performance centers on the decoy's ability to calm approaching birds rather than excite them. The feeding position suggests an undisturbed flock environment, encouraging gobblers to approach within bow or close shotgun range. The flexible material handles wind movement naturally without the stiff, unnatural motion of hard-bodied decoys. Temperature extremes from early season cold snaps to late spring heat waves don't affect the material properties or paint adhesion.
