Avian X Turkey Decoys: Tactical Edge with Realistic Breeding

When the light bends right and a boss gobbler is hearing the hens, the visual story you set up in the field matters as much as your calling technique. Tactical hunters treat decoy rigs like mission planning: posture, placement, and realism combine to shape the bird’s decision-making. Quality decoys reduce guesswork and compel aggressive responses from toms that mistake a scene for real opportunity.

LCD Laydown Hen Turkey is built to sell that story. The LCD Laydown Hen’s body, wings and head simulate a hen turkey’s authentic breeding position, presenting a compelling invitation that often draws in dominant birds. This pose can also double as a realistic dusting hen during mid-morning setups, and it pairs effectively with an LCD Quarter-Strut Jake to create an encounter a boss gobbler won’t tolerate.

Key features that matter in the field

Understanding the physical cues a gobbler looks for is what separates a good setup from a lethal one. The LCD Laydown Hen Turkey mimics three critical elements: the hen’s body contour while laying, wing position, and head angle. Those details combine to read as a genuine breeding hen from range and up close. At a retail price of $88.19, it’s an affordable way to add a specialized pose to your decoy spread without compromising realism.

Why the pose works

Breeding posture is aggressive bait. A boss gobbler sees another male approaching a receptive hen as a challenge — or an opportunity. The laydown posture simulates vulnerability and receptivity at the same time, forcing the tom to close distance to assess. Pairing the LCD Laydown Hen Turkey with an LCD Quarter-Strut Jake creates a believable social scenario: the quarter-strut draws attention while the laydown hen seals the narrative.

Practical deployment tips

Set the laydown hen within comfortable viewing distance of your strut or jake decoy, and avoid direct line-of-sight from the roost approach where possible. Use natural cover to break up outlines and rotate the hen’s orientation across multiple hunts to avoid looks that feel staged. The dusting posture option makes the hen versatile for mid-morning approaches when birds are less likely to respond to full struts but still investigate a submissive hen.
