Dave Smith Decoys Turkey Decoy

Yes. The decoy is built with A.C.E. Technology, which is specifically designed to be self-healing and durable enough to withstand direct hits from shotgun pellets or broadheads without losing its structural integrity.

No, this model does not collapse or fold. It maintains its natural, realistic shape at all times, which is why it includes a dedicated carry bag with a shoulder strap to make transporting the rigid body easier.

The 3/4 strut pose is designed to mimic a young male turkey, making it an aggressive but non-threatening posture that often draws out dominant toms. It is best placed in open areas or field edges where it can be easily spotted by approaching birds.

No inflation is required. The material is rigid and holds its natural, lifelike shape permanently, so it is ready to hunt the moment you take it out of the bag.

At 6 pounds, it is manageable for most hunters, though it is heavier than collapsible fabric decoys. The trade-off is that you get a much more realistic, durable, and weather-resistant decoy that won't lose its shape in the wind.
