Hunting Decoys
Hunting decoys cover both motion and static setups for turkey and waterfowl hunting — Mojo's battery-powered spinning-wing and motion decoys, Avian-X's Power Swimmer duck decoys, and Primos and Foxpro turkey decoys and combo packs. Adding motion to a decoy spread is one of the most effective ways to draw attention from a distance, which is why motion decoys make up a large share of this category.

Motion Decoys: Why Mojo Dominates This Category
Mojo's battery-powered decoys — the Mini Mallard Hen, Baby Mallard Drake, Pigeon, and Crow — use spinning wings or bobbing motion to catch attention from much farther away than a static decoy can. This matters most in open terrain or when hunting pressured birds that have learned to look for movement as a sign of safety. Magnetic wing sets let hunters swap or replace wings on compatible Mojo bodies without buying a whole new decoy.
Turkey Decoys: Foxpro, Primos, and HS Strut
The Foxpro X-Decoy and Topper Combo Pack, along with Primos' Lil' Gobblestopper and Apex Spartan lines, give turkey hunters jake and hen decoy options to simulate a range of flock scenarios — a jake decoy alone can provoke a dominant tom, while a jake-and-hen combo mimics a more natural, less threatening setup. The HS Strut All-Terrain Decoy Stand adapts to uneven ground where a standard decoy stake won't hold securely.
Duck Decoys: Avian-X Power Swimmer
The Avian-X Power Swimmer uses a realistic swimming motion to add movement to a duck spread, which is particularly effective on calm water where static decoys sit still and can look unnatural to wary birds. Pairing motion decoys with a spread of static ones gives the best of both — long-range attention from movement and a natural-looking group up close.
Decoy Storage and Transport
The HS Strut Decoy Bag holds 3-4 turkey decoys and includes an orange safety flag, both protecting decoys during transport and adding a visibility element for hunter safety in areas with other hunters present. A dedicated decoy bag also keeps decoy stakes and parts organized rather than loose in a truck bed or pack.
Frequently Asked Questions: Hunting Decoys
Do motion decoys actually work better than static ones?
Yes, generally — motion decoys attract attention from significantly farther away than static decoys, which matters most in open terrain or with pressured birds that have learned to look for movement as a safety cue.
How many turkey decoys should I use?
A single jake decoy can provoke a dominant tom on its own, while a jake-and-hen combo (like the Lil' Gobblestopper) creates a more natural, less threatening scenario — the right setup depends on the specific bird's behavior and season.
What is the Avian-X Power Swimmer used for?
It's a motorized duck decoy that adds realistic swimming motion to a spread, particularly effective on calm water where static decoys can look unnaturally still to wary ducks.
