The Avian X LCD Laydown Hen Turkey Decoy delivers field-proven effectiveness for spring gobbler hunts with anatomically correct posturing that triggers aggressive responses from dominant toms. This premium decoy features Dura-Rubber construction and ultra-realistic feather detail that maintains effectiveness across multiple seasons of hard use.
What Makes This Different
The LCD (Laydown Calling) position sets this decoy apart from standard feeding hen postures by simulating a receptive breeding hen in full display. This specific body angle and tail positioning creates visual triggers that pull gobblers into close range more consistently than upright feeding decoys. The multi-layered paint scheme captures the subtle color variations of real hen plumage, while the flexible Dura-Rubber material allows natural movement in field conditions.
Key Features
- Anatomically correct laydown breeding position triggers aggressive tom responses
- Dura-Rubber construction withstands repeated transport and field use
- Multi-color paint scheme replicates authentic hen feather patterns
- Lightweight hollow body design for easy carry and setup
- Detachable stake system for secure ground placement
- UV-resistant finish prevents color fading in direct sunlight
- Collapsible design fits standard turkey vest pockets
Field performance centers on the decoy's ability to maintain visual appeal throughout extended hunting sessions. The laydown posture remains effective from first light through mid-morning hunting periods when toms actively seek breeding opportunities. Dura-Rubber construction flexes with wind movement while maintaining structural integrity in temperatures ranging from freezing to summer heat. The paint finish resists chipping from brush contact and maintains color accuracy season after season.
