Although the concept is fairly simple, a vast variety of turkey decoys are available. The decoy industry, like much else, has blossomed online, and you will probably be able to find what you want on one of the major sites for hunters. Read on to learn how to choose the perfect decoy for your particular hunt.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate
Step1
Choose your dimensions. One-dimensional turkey decoys are sometimes just cardboard cut-outs, and can be easily made. The three-dimensional decoys, on the other hand, are manufactured from foam or a similar substance (possibly weatherproof), and are less widely available.
Step2
Choose what type of decoy you want. Decoy providers sell models of tom turkeys, hens, and generic models in various sizes and poses, from "alert" to "feeding." Think about what kind of decoy you want to use on your hunt.
Step3
Consider moving decoys. Some, like the MOJO Outdoors line, are designed for maximum authenticity with moving wings or other parts. Do you need a moving decoy, or will a stationary one meet your needs?
Step4
Shop online for best offers and prices. The Bass Pro hunting shop site offers a range of decoys. EBay sometimes has decoys available at cut-rate prices. Look at a variety of online vendors to see which one is right for you.
Step5
Look at websites of large retailers. Among the biggest of U.S. hunting retailers, Cabela's offers their own range of decoys. Be sure to check out their site and see if Cabela's has opened a store near you where you can browse for hunting gear in person.
