\"Review:
The Flambeau King Strutter (Photo credit: Flambeau)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

There tend to be two schools of thought about hunting decoys, one side firmly entrenched in the belief they\u2019re a must-have and the other that finds them pointless. Reality is somewhere in the middle. Decoys can be extremely useful but do depend on a number of factors such as the game or predator you\u2019re after, the season, and the quality of said decoy. All that said, if you\u2019re in the market for a high-quality turkey decoy there is one I\u2019ve had repeated success with: the Flambeau King Strutter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Features<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Flambeau has an entire line of turkey decoys from standing\nand feeding hens to toms and jakes, many of which have found their way into my\ncollection. The King Strutter is a favorite due to its realistic appearance \u2013\nthat and the fact it has a separate fan insert. Created based on a design made\nby Master Carver Dave Constantine, it\u2019s a fantastic decoy to lure in dominant\ntoms. Flambeau describes it as \u201conly missing a heartbeat\u201d and while that might\nbe taking things a little far it\u2019s definitely well done. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Features of the King Strutter include beautifully executed shades of color to mimic feathers in the molded form and a realistically detailed and shaped head. The tom\u2019s beard is made of individual synthetic strands and securely attached so it\u2019s able to shift and move like a living turkey\u2019s beard would. The fantail has good definition and has a wind-secure attachment point. There\u2019s also a keyhole stake plate made to be placed for either sixty-degree wind-activated motion or fixed, solid placement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Performance<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Using the Flambeau King Strutter on hunts has proved its effectiveness.\nReally, is there any cooler sight than watching \u2013 and hearing \u2013 a tom come\nstrutting and drumming right to you? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During one spring turkey hunt, we experienced high winds which caused the decoy to move more than normal. Dust was flying, the blind was rattling, and it seemed there was not a chance of success. Right about when it seemed a good time to call it a day, a tom came strutting in straight to the decoy. On that particular hunt, I was running the Remington DM Predator, a 12-gauge shotgun with a Kryptek finish, and I didn\u2019t hesitate to shoot the tom. It was an easy shot; as the tom made his way in he passed within ten yards of my blind. The DM Predator dropped him on the spot and my friend and guide Tyler Pounds ran out to get him (I stayed put and tried to hold the blind down \u2013 it really was that windy).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Out by the tom, Tyler was bent over checking out his beard. When he held up two fingers I was happy \u2013 a double-bearded tom was a great bird for the dry Texas wheat field \u2013 then he held up three. Then, four. As it turned out the Rio was a quad-bearded tom, making him my favorite turkey in years. All I\u2019m saying is the decoy was present. Draw your own conclusions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Decoy Life<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re going to use a decoy take care to consider\nplacement. You can use one like the Flambeau King Strutter with the company\u2019s\nShady Baby Breeding Hen decoy or place the tom on its own. I\u2019ve done that\nmyself with solid results (a nice mature tom). The King Strutter is a dominant\ndecoy meaning it can draw in toms or cocky jakes looking for a fight. When\nusing more intimidating decoys it\u2019s possible you\u2019ll make submissive birds less\nlikely to come in, so keep that in mind. But if you think about it you might\nrealize the turkeys you really want to shoot are those big, tough, challenging\ntoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When staging decoys take care to place them as realistically\nas possible. If you\u2019re baiting take the food into consideration; if you\u2019re just\ntrying to create a believable scene in a field, make sure you put the various\nbirds in the right spots. You want decoys to bring birds in firing range\nwithout blocking your shot. No, you cannot control precisely where a bird will\nwalk but you can increase your odds by stopping to think where they are most\nlikely to go. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you haven\u2019t tried decoys for turkeys, check out Flambeau\u2019s line. They\u2019re good quality, well-made decoys that will work nicely to improve your chances of a successful hunt. The King Strutter has been present at the scene of half a dozen turkey hunts where turkeys were had in various quantities so I consider it a useful part of my gear. After all, isn\u2019t a flopping bird on the ground your goal? Try decoys. You\u2019ll be glad you did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
