The new pretty girl actually looks pretty good I think. The pretty girl I got last year with my pretty boy was nasty looking, the head and the body were the same color, that is why I didn't like it. If you bought one this year though, and it has good coloration in the head, I would use it.

i have personally witnessed several birds killed over Pretty Boy/Girl this year and i think how the hen looks is irrevelant. the gobblers are not looking at her, its him they are after. this weekend, however, i plan on leaving PB at home.....my wife is going to be hunting and i want her to kill a bird, any bearded bird will work, so i dont want to run any of them off....

I have been using the pretty girl and a buckwing bobble head hen. We've had three toms come into that setup and we have taken all three.

Same here, I shot my bird this year over a B-mobile and bobble head hen feeding 3 yards from B-mobile. Ol' Tom seen B-mobile and came running to him to fight. I shot him before the first punch was thrown.

I have witnessed three birds killed over B-mobile this year and all have done is add a bobbin head feeding hen near by and not worry about the receptive hen decoy.

That's the same setup I've been using and I haven't drawn a bird in bow range of it yet.
Right bird...right day, is what a guy really needs.

Re: B-Mobile/Pretty Boy Users.....................
As stated, the old "pretty girl" is different than the "pretty girl" this year.
The new "pretty girl" that comes with the "pretty boy" this year looks great.
As stated, the gobbler's attention is usually on the "Pretty Boy" when he comes in.
I can't say enough about the effectivness of a full strutt gobbler decoy...

sounds more like you don't want her to shoot a bigger bird than you did

Re: B-Mobile/Pretty Boy Users.....................
I know that THA4 mentioned this in his harvest post, but we also attached some fishing line to the head of the pretty boy so that we could get him to spin. I think the added movement gave more realism to the set up.
Teeroy...she will shoot a bigger bird

Re: B-Mobile/Pretty Boy Users.....................
i almost broke down and bought a pretty boy a few weeks ago, but i thought if the gobblers are allowing other gobblers to hang around and strut along side of them, are they going to charge in to kick the ass of this decoy? so i put it off. i'm about ready to go back to sportsmans and get one. by the way, sportsmans and scheels were out of buckwing hens

Re: B-Mobile/Pretty Boy Users.....................
My issue was not so much with the paint job. The damn thing is loud. I put some good stuff insulation to quiet her down a little. But, I am still using "ugly betty the buckwing". Yesterday just had three bobbin heads and the Pretty boy and it worked very well...
