Has anyone purchased the new Avian X jake to give some reviews?

The feather detail looks good in the pics and on their videos.

The posture seems to be the same as the upright hen.

Are the jake and the hens the same size? I didn't see any side by sides.

Cooter,

You mean to tell me that you do not have enough decoys already. ;)

I think an old member on here (Gold Tip) just bought one the other day.

He texted me a picture. I will ask him how he likes it.

I have the Avian X hens (both feeder and alert) and must say that they are great. Realistic looking (as realistic as the DSDs if you ask me) and collapsible so not a pain in the but to carry around. I haven't been able to find the jake anywhere yet but will be adding it to my collection when I do (likely at the deer and turky classic). You won't be disappointed in their dekes, they are top notch.

I seen them Mack's has them in their catalog.

Likely not gonna buy one. They are new and I just wanted to talk turkey.

I am not going to buy one just because I have a good Jake but I wouldn't hesitate on buying one of those if I didn't. I really like the looks of the hens and got to believe the jake is going to be awesome as well.
 
Also, started slowly replacing my goose spread with the Zink Avian X, in terms of realism and durability they are hard to beat. I love the fact you can just toss them and not have to worry about the paint.

Saw the zinks next to dsd at scheels today, hens look similar but the Jake's do not in my opinion. Dsd is better.

Muddy,

Looking at them in the catalog they do not seem to have the same posture as the DSD??

I still think it is the posture that brings them running.
 
I agree posture is the key. I like the posture of the DSD better. The Delta jake has the same posture as the DSD. The Avian looks like an alert bird where the other to have the posture of a bird wanting to fight.

If I was gonna buy a jake I rate the DSDJ number 1 DJ 2 AJ 3. JMO

I've not seen either of these in person, but have read enough that I want to buy one of the two for this season. Are the DSD's even collapsable? How are they to transport compared to Zinks?
 
The DSD aren't really collapsible.

The Avians are like a rubber ball that you blow in to inflate to take the dents out.


I know the DSD will stand up to an accidental shooting not too sure the Avians would.

I only hunt public land where 1/2 - 1 mile hikes are the norm. You think the Avians would be preferable in that case? My buddy here got some and really like them.
 
I have packed three DSDs that far no problem. Along with ground blind and the rest my turkey hunting stuff.

The Avians would be a little easier. I think they weigh about the same tho.

A hunting buddy is the best when turkey hunting.

Haven't shot one yet. I don't use a scatter gun tho.

You just want to get Cooter in your blind again :D


That would be cool. You getting one video is overdue. :way: (turkey that is)

The carrylite make a good looking jake also. I would change the paint on the head if I had one.

The DSDS aren't bad to carry. I just sling them over the top of my blind. Don't even really know they are there.
