killer B decoy

Ive used one it seemed to intimidate single birds i have called groups of toms in with it but i switched to a jake decoy and will never go back to a strutter.
 
Its a smaller strutter decoy. the paint on the head is not the best. I would go with the "Killer B" model. It has a moving tail. The paint is better and you put a real fan on it and it will be a killer!

I've only had one bird hang up on me with my strutter. I think movement is the key. Being able to turn it towards and away the incoming bird seems to be the key. (learned this from Liv4rut on IW) I think that would have more effect than the tail raising and lowering but I've never used one to know for sure.

You Are correct on this one. Movement makes a huge differance!
 
I have a killer-b that I have pulled a few birds in with. I bought it before last season, so I have only used it for one season so far. I think the paint on the head looks pretty good, and the smaller body size makes it less intimidating. I run a jake fan on him and have his beard cut down, so he kinda looks like a jake thats overstepping his boundaries. Just this past winter, I did a little wing paint modification and added real wings to him, so we'll see how that works.

I usually hook up the pull cord to his tail, although I think this season I might wrap it around the decoy stake so when I pull the cord, it rotates him to the side - only downside of that is I can only rotate him one direction.

Here is what he looks like:

I use the DSD jake and hen. They are the nest decoys I have ever used. I have a pretty boy, and a B mobile jake. The DSD out performs them hands down. I just got back from Nebraska where I had birds mounting my hen and and beating my jake every day out there. I have never had birds take to decoys like this. I have some video I shot on my phone I will try to upload.
